From the Chapter Directors Hello Everyone Well August is here and the heat is back, it seems to return in time for the Iowa State Fair. Sounds like it going to back in the 90 s, we had it pretty good the last couple of weeks of July, in the 70 s and 80 s and lower humidity, yea, what a relief is was for ourselves and the A/C. The heat is back which means we need to stay well hydrated, be careful riding in the heat and humidity, take frequent breaks. There is a lot of riding left in the season, so let s go out and have a lot of fun and ride safe. Rides will be going on all over the area and there are plenty places to go for us all to ride.
