Wheelin' to 605 EVENTS
EVENTS
This September, Wheelin’ to Wall is celebrating 10 years of putting on a ride for casual and avid cyclists held in the Badlands National Park . Last fall 11 states were represented at the event, including Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Wyoming, North Dakota, Louisiana, and Utah.
“It’s the only locally organized and supported ride through Badlands
National Park and Buffalo Gap National Grassland ,” said event director Charon Geigle . “It’s also the only event that offers Wall Drug [Store] donuts!” The ride began as a community collaboration project through Marketing Hometown America , which is an extension-based community engagement program used in South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Iowa to empower communities to create a vision to attract new residents and visitors.
