RRVT logo T-shirts, Caps, Fleece Vests & More

The Raccoon River Valley Trail Association announces a new online store for trail enthusiasts to purchase special RRVT apparel.

Our initial line of items include fleece vests in gray, red or black; three different ball caps; t-shirts in white, natural, as well as two tie-dyed ones in orange or lime. We have cinch bags that will be perfect for carrying a variety of gear.

“We are starting with some basic items that we think many bikers will want to have,” said Mark Powell, an RRVT Association board member who has been involved in developing the merchandise. “We plan to add additional items in the future, including a nice RRVT bike jersey.”

All of the merchandise, which is being produced by Orville and Sharon Terry at their Sew Inspirational company in the trail town of Panora, features the new RRVT logo. And all proceeds from the sale of RRVT merchandise goes directly to the RRVT Association to be used for trail promotion and marketing.

“Now trail enthusiasts can support the trail by riding it – and by ‘wearing’ it, too,” said Carla Offenburger, RRVT Association president. “It helps us both when you buy the clothing items online here, as well as when you have them on when you’re out on our trail or at other events.”

You can go into the online store and order your RRVT apparel by using the link on the left side of the home page here for “Shop RRVT Store,” or by clicking here.

 
West Central Iowa’s Raccoon River Valley Trail
Welcome to RaccoonRiverValleyTrail.org, the online guide to a 56-mile-long paved trail along the branches of the beautiful Raccoon River through Greene, Guthrie and Dallas Counties.

You will experience the communities of Jefferson, Cooper, Herndon, Yale, Panora, Linden, Redfield, Adel and Waukee. And, going east, the RRVT connects with the trail system in Iowa’s capital city of Des Moines. Thus, your trail experience will take you from a very vibrant metropolitan area out into some great small towns, which are located in one of the most productive agricultural regions of the world. Along your way you’ll find the food, beverages, entertainment, scenery and ambience that will make every visit to the RRVT a memorable one.

Our Internet site here is a work in progress. And our trail is, too, as we expect to be adding a 33-mile-long north loop in 2007 and ’08. That will include the communities of Dallas Center, Minburn, Perry, Dawson and Jamaica.

This ’Net site will become a comprehensive directory of services and amenities available the full length of the trail. You will also find information about the towns along the trail, great events for you to attend and ways you can support us.

Please use the links at the left to explore this site.
