Episode 165: The Pedals and Petals Women’s Ride Comes to Eastern Iowa

A new ride is coming to Eastern Iowa May 9, 2026, organized by yours truly and today I am joined by my co-host from The Just Go Bike Podcast to discuss everything you might want to know about the Pedals and Petals Women’s Ride. This 34 mile bicycle ride utilizes the Cedar Valley Nature Trail and takes riders from Cedar Rapids, through the quaint town of Ely to Solon where we turn around and head back to Cedar Rapids. It is meant to be more than just a bicycle ride, and you can find out more at our website which is https://pedalsandpetalsride.com/. We couldn’t do this ride without our generous sponsors which include Northtowne Cycling and Fitness, Iowa Fluid Power Motion Services, the Linn County Trails Association, this podcast, and PrimalWear. And I will list out friends and supporters of the ride below.
