# Jim Cochran (Iowa City, IA)

I have been involved in cycling in Iowa for over 40 years. I tour, road group ride, gravel ride, mountain bike, and race. I have been using routing GPS for over 10 years and love building routes for others to experience the love I have for cycling. Let me guide you to some of the popular areas I ride in SE Iowa near Iowa City, and an occasional route somewhere else. I have ridden in 7 European countries, from the North of NZ to the South of NZ, multiple self-guided tours in Europe, thousands of miles in Yamanashi, Japan, and approximately 100,000 miles in Iowa.
