Back in Black (River Falls) 400k

This route is identical to the first day of the Cranberry Country 600k for a long way (through Black River) so you might have company for a good bit of the ride. Like the other routes there are a number of refueling options (Norwalk, 50 miles; Warrens, 82 miles; Hatfield, 114 miles; Black River, 127 miles; Taylor, 143 miles; Melrose, 160 miles; West Salem, 184 miles; Cashton, 208 miles; LaFarge, 225 miles) so you shouldn’t run out of gas! It’s possible that the control in Cashton will be closed when you get there unless you’re speedy so you might want to buy some extra food in West Salem to see you through.

The control in LaFarge will surely be closed (though for the record, two riders did make it there before it closed) when you get there. There are several soda machines visible from the route where you can buy fluids so have some singles just in case.

Here are the details:

ACP sanctioned, 253 miles, 8,972 feet of climbing, ridewithgps route here
