About Waukon π―
Long, long ago, when the earth was still quite young, the land we now call Iowa was flat, oh so flat. It stretched out like a giant pancake, with nary a hill to be seen. The mighty glaciers, like giant ice bulldozers, had rumbled down from the north, flattening everything in their path. They sculpted the land, carving out valleys and pushing up mountains, leaving their icy fingerprints across the world.
But something magical happened in Northeast Iowa. As the glaciers advanced, they inexplicably parted, like a curtain being drawn open, leaving a pocket of land untouched and unflattened. This became the Driftless Area, a place where the rolling hills and valleys remained, a hidden gem amidst the vast plains.
Now, fast forward many, many years. In this untouched land, nestled amongst the winding rivers and streams, tiny wildflowers began to bloom, carpeting the hills in a patchwork of vibrant colors. The forests grew tall and lush, providing shelter for all sorts of creatures, from the soaring eagles to the scampering squirrels. And the rivers, oh, the rivers! They danced and sparkled, their waters teeming with life.
This is where we invite you to come join us for a day of riding and racing along the trout steams and windy valleys of the Waukon Driftless region. You've never ridden gravel like this in Iowa, we guarantee.
