The route for the 2019 Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa coming into and out of Fairfield has been unveiled. In January, Fairfield was selected as one of the eight cities to host an overnight stay. Day five of RAGBRAI will end in Fairfield after athletes travel 65.9 miles through Centerville, West Grove, Bloomfield, Troy Leando/Douds, and Libertyville. Riders will begin day six in Fairfield then ride through Henry and Des Moines Counties, passing Stockport, Salem, Houghton, Geode State Park, Middletown, then rest up in Burlington after 65.6 miles. This will be the fifth overnight stay Fairfield has hosted, the city’s first since 2013.
