Make your reservations early if you need a place to stay. There will not be a hotel block. We highly recommend getting a room for the overnight of the 600k even if you are planning on riding straight through. Having the option and a place to shower and change/keep clothing and devices charging makes everything easier.
The first ride opportunity in our Midwest III Crown. You will find everything from old bridges to hills, trails, rivers and farms including the historic bridge at Tiffany. The route is clockwise so you will see the most beautiful section (and biggest hillls) early. The stretch from Brodhead to Alabany on Rustic Roads is especially beautiful and a welcomed change from past rides. The Safest Route Policy is in force and we prefer the quieter and more scenic roads. There are a fair number of places to stop, but be aware that Milton may be the last 24 hour store (Darien may change back but for now is still not 24 hour).
There is no time limit but we will record your time and we recommend that you be able to maintain a 10 mph average including stops to ensure a good experience.
There will be a pre-ride Zoom on Friday May 7 at 8:00 pm. All riders must attend. We will go over support options, start time and other ride details!
