The Water Ride

The Water Ride Ride a bike, give clean water. Every dollar raised goes directly to providing clean water in Ghana, West Africa.

The Water Ride has many opportunities to cycle inside and outside to raise money for clean water efforts in Ghana. To date, we've raised over $19,000 by people getting on their bicycles in the Des Moines & Indianola community. A community in Ghana is experiencing a better quality of life (education, more hours to work instead of fetch water and time with family) because of people like you who peda

Hey TMP Supporters!

The Water Ride is this Saturday, August 23rd. We have a 12:00pm start at Confluence Brewing in Des Moines. Saturday is forecasted to be 81 degrees and sunny, we couldn't ask for a better biking day! We are planning to ride from Confluence to 515 Brewing in Clive and back downtown to Fuzzy's Tacos. We are keeping an eye on water levels around Des Moines as some of the bike trails can easily be flooded. Don't worry, if that happens we will have a backup route, just in case.

Plan to arrive at Confluence between 11:00-12:00. They will be donating $1/pint sold from 11:00-1:00, so invite your non-biking friends to join us for a pre-ride cheers. All registered riders will receive a ticket for one free beer at 515 Brewing to be used on the day of the ride.

PARKING: Please park to the east or west of Confluence if possible to leave their front parking lot open for guests who might be coming and going throughout the day. There is also a parking lot at Gray's Lake that is just North of Confluence and right on the bike trail.

Helmets are strongly encouraged.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday. If you haven't registered yet, you can do so here.

Happy Trails,
The Water Ride Planning Crew
