Cranberry Country 600K

This is “Version 2” of an event that we’ve held several times. The original route was the classic 400/200K split with considerably more climbing on day 2. Although quite a few riders finished the old version (and quite a few didn’t!) the general feedback was the 400K first day followed by a hard 200K second day was a big ask.

V2 breaks things up a little differently. The first day is shorter than it was in the original version of the route, the second day is therefore longer (it’s still a 600K!) but has less climbing (in feet/mile) than the original version. Here’s the brief:

ACP sanctioned, 373.7 miles, 14,015 feet of climbing, full ridewithgps route here
Day one route here
Day two route here

A few notes about the ride:

Although it appears there’s a long way from the start to the first control at Norwalk (49.8 miles), there are a couple of opportunities to refill bottles or refuel:

• • • Note the POI at Yuba (19 miles). There’s a water spigot on the side of the community center building.
    • There’s a convenience store (Cenex) in Ontario at 41 miles.

The Central Express in Cashton (mile 170) closes at 22:00. Most riders should be able to make it there and they have the usual c-store fare. If you don’t think you’ll be able to get there before they close you can stock up at West Salem (145 miles) but note that the food you take on there is going to need to get you to the day one finish at 223 miles so if in doubt – stock up!

There are soda machines (with water) at La Farge (188 miles) so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have singles or change to purchase water/soda from the machine. The control is likely to be closed for all but the fastest riders.

As noted on the route, there’s a water fountain at Boaz (212 miles) in the pavilion.
