What's the Family to do while we're racing???

Sundown Mountain, Great Skiing & Snowboarding, overlooks the Heritage Trail www.sundownmtn.com/

Chestnut Mountain Resort (about a 40 min drive from race headquarters)

Grand Harbor Resort and Waterpark is the perfect spot for enjoying this beautiful and exciting destination area. Gather with friends for a relaxed conversation in our Tony Roma's Restaurant & Lounge, or slide into a whole new world of water fun in our 25,000 square feet indoor waterpark. We used this venue for the first 5 years of Triple D until we outgrew it.

Park Farm Winery is a Family owned and operated winery in the rolling hills of Bankston, Iowa near Dubuque. They produce a wide variety of high quality mid-west/french hybrid wines. They also serve some fantastic wood fired pizza and are open all year round.

Barrelhead Winery is a quaint treasure for wine lovers in the mid-west. This little gem produces some of the best wines in North America.

Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in the Port of Dubuque will host its annual Ice Fest event

At Milltown Cycles the customer is number one. We strive to bring to you bicycles and components that are industry leaders in quality, innovation, and performance. From comfortable hybrids for riding around town, kids’ bikes, or lightweight racers to help you stay in front of the pack, we do it all.

New Bike Checkpoint in Dyersville


The city of Dyersville has extended Heritage Trail to within two blocks of downtown. This allows us to stay off the highway and roads a bit more. To make advantage of this our new Checkpoint is at Chad's Pizza (108 1st Avenue West, Dyersville, IA 52040-1103).

They will have a pizza buffet, fresh to made pizza, sodas, gateraids, candy bars, etc. They have a large indoor dinning area and will open early for the speed demons.
