they're graced with attractive terrain and locals willing to dig! TMBR has devoted time, energy, and money into making Dubuque a notable mountain biking destination in the Midwest. By bringing together local and professional trail builders, the stoke is addictive. Plus, with land donated from John Deere, the Proving Grounds has quickly become the area's golden child. With a little something for everyone - plus a nice fire road to climb - you can get to the jumps, berms, and rock gardens without powering up any single-track. My favorite trails in all of eastern Iowa, possibly the entire Midwest, are at Interstate Power Preserve (IPP). Last time I rode IPP, I felt like I was back in Colorado for a moment. The dirt has just enough gravel in it to make things interesting, but not enough to make you fearful of a fall when giving it your all on the downhills. So, pack your bags and come meet us out on the trails. When you show friends photos from your rides they'll ask "is this heaven?" and you'll smile as you reply, "no, it's Iowa."
