As Guthrie Center, Panora and Yale prepare for thousands of bicyclists to come through in mid-July, safety is a top priority. Riders are expected to start arriving in Guthrie Center mid-morning on Monday, July 20. A steady stream of bicyclists will pour into town most of the day. The route will bring riders in from the west on Highway 44. On the morning of Tuesday, July 21, riders will begin riding east from Guthrie Center on Highway 44, arriving in Panora and then heading north on Highway 4 to Yale before traveling to Boone.
