Thrive Allen County is hosting its first-ever bicycling event, a new annual bikes-and-music festival called the Portland Alley Pedalfest, scheduled for September 12-13, 2015 in Iola, Kansas.
The event will be a showcase for Allen County trails and our growing bicycling community, featuring rides on the Southwind Rail Trail and the Prairie Spirit Trail, as well as opportunities for visitors to check out our new Mo-Pac Trail and the new Lehigh Portland Trails system.
In addition to riding bikes and exploring the beauty and diversity of the Allen County countryside, participants will enjoy a Saturday night festival at Riverside Park, with live music, local food, and a beer garden, as well as overnight camping in the park. Local residents are also welcome to attend the festival.
Bicyclists can register for the Portland Alley Pedalfest online or on-site, and can follow the Portland Alley Pedalfest Facebook page for up-to-date news.
