Please include Town and Country Cafe and Sister's in Cheese as great places to eat in Madrid, Iowa. Both are as close to trail as VFW.

If you are aware of any closures on the trails, please let us know by posting here. If there is a closure listed on the site map that's not accurate, also let us know and I'll get it removed.

I moved to Des Moines about 11 years ago, and I had a hard time finding good rides to do. I don't mean good planned rides, I mean I had a hard time finding out where I should go on a ride by myself. I didn't know what was going on in the area, or where the good trails were. I knew I could hop on a trail and go past a few bars, or restaurants. I might stop and have a drink and get something to eat or something like that, but then I would find out later that another location had a band playing. I wanted something that would help me find what was going on along the trails, and a quick way to map out that ride in Des Moines. That's what we are trying to build with dsmbiking.com. Let me know if there are features you'd like added or what your thoughts are in general. Thank you!
