Goldfinch Cyclery in Cedar Rapids is hosting a Swift Campout at Morgan Creek Park's new Group Campsite and we are invited to join in!
The Swift Campout is an annual, global call to go bike-camping to celebrate the summer solstice. Adventurers will pack camp gear on their bicycles and head out on June 22nd and 23rd, 2024 to kick off summer with a bike-overnight. Celebrate the longest day and shortest night outdoors!
Goldfinch will provide firewood. You bring everything else. The Morgan Creek group site is primitive with pit toilets and a water spigot. Modern restrooms and shower house are a short bike away.
You can start at Goldfinch Cyclery at 11am for their Thriller or Chiller ride or anywhere of your choosing. Ely to Morgan Creek would be a nice ride. Start from Iowa City if you want the miles.
