Have you explored the Wabash Trace Nature Trail yet? The Wabash Trace Nature Trail is a rail trail that leads riders through the rural forests and countryside of southwest Iowa. The trail stretches 63 miles from Council Bluffs to Blanchard. On this episode, Murph chats with Erin and Matt about a fun event that doubles as a fundraiser for the trail. It is the third year for the Wabash Open which is a fun bike ride on the Wabash Trace that includes mini golf stops along the way. Riders play 18 holes during the ride, which starts in Council Bluffs and ends in Mineola. This event takes place June 8, 2024 and the theme this year is all about the Goonies!
