| Halfway Point |
Our first trail this year was the Linn Creek Greenbelt out of Marshalltown. This was one of the easier ones to find. It's a fairly flat trail with a few little hills and curves. It starts on the outskirts of town at the Grimes Farm and Conservation area and winds into the city to end at Riverview Park. From start to finish we went through a series of environments. It starts off wooded, then the city, then goes through Nicholson-Ford Recreation Park, and finally ending at another park along the river. The beginning of the ride was really pretty with a lot of rolling hills and water. The middle of the ride was sketchy. The trail took us along a lot of warehouses that took away from the nice scenery.
The trail was about 17 miles roundtrip.
This wasn't one of our favorite trails we've done yet but it was a great one to start up on. The changing environments really kept us interested and there were plenty of people to wave at along the way. The biggest downfall to this trail was the enormous amount of bugs/gnats! Other than the sketch parts and the gnats it was a good ride!
