where in Iowa are you moving? you probably already know the topography somewhat, but...
if it's anywhere near Dubuque, you'll be riding some serious hills, which could be really fun with the right gear.
Anywhere west is extremely flat and SS/FG will be perfect.
The park tools book, AND the park website is good too.
