What does BRR mean in CYCLING

The purpose of the Bike Ride to Rippey is to promote outdoor exploration, physical activity, and connection with nature for an unforgettable experience.

The bike ride takes place annually in early June, beginning at Lake Red Rock in Pella and ending in Rippey, Iowa.

Participants should bring two or three water bottles, snacks that won't melt easily (such as granola bars), sunscreen, a hat or visor, rain gear in case of inclement weather conditions, any necessary spare parts (e.g., inner tubes), a bike lock in order to secure bicycles at rest stops, and appropriate clothes for cycling (e.g., lightweight jersey).

Yes — Registration fees are per rider prior to May 15th or after May 15th.

Riders will cover approximately 75 miles total over two leisurely days of cycling down rural roads with rolling hills as they make their way from Pella to Rippey. Each day has rest stops along the route that provide snacks and drinks for riders before they continue their journey.
