SUMMARY:Wildcat Mountain Wander 300K
DESCRIPTION:This was a new route for 2017 which shares the first few miles with our “Back in Black (River Falls) 400K” route so riders can roll out together. The controls for the first 90 miles are the same and there’s considerable overlap between the routes so riders doing any of the events typically held on this day should get a number of opportunities to see other riders during the first part of the ride. \nThe route has some testing climbs\, especially the long climb up the eponymous Wildcat Mountain\, but nothing too severe. Ridewithgps reports 7115 feet of climb in the 195 mile distance for an average of 36 feet/mile which is generally considered “hilly”. There aren’t any “shift all the way down and grind” sorts of climbs\, mostly “pick your gear and spin” (assuming of course you aren’t riding a 39×25 as your easiest gear!). \nThere are plenty of food opportunities along the route with c-stores and/or restaurants available in Ontario\, Norwalk\, Warrens\, Sparta\, Cashton and LaFarge. This being the small town midwest you can expect everything to fold up at 22:00 so plan your food/water stops accordingly. \nThis is a lovely route on mostly quiet two-lane roads. Try it\, you’ll like it! \n187.2 miles\, 8022 feet of climbing\, ACP certified \nRidewithgps link: here\nBrevet card: here \nComplete the registration form below. You’ll receive an email which will contain a link to complete a waiver electronically and a PayPal link to pay for the ride. Note that there will be no day of ride registration – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received. \nImportant note: If you register and don’t receive an email confirmation check your spam folder!

SUMMARY:Off to Elkader 400K
DESCRIPTION:One of our favorite 400K routes. This one takes you through Muscoda then features a beautiful stretch on CR-G over to Fennimore followed by an even nicer section from Fennimore over to Prairie du Chien with a long stretch along the Green River before a couple of challenging climbs on CR-C. We’ll then cross the Mississippi at PdC and you know what that means! Any time you go East or West from the Mississippi your next destination is “up” as you climb away from the river. You’re rewarded with some beautiful views before turning Westward toward Elkader with a nice stop at the control for lunch should you choose a longer break. Then it’s North through Monona (lots of rollers and generally uphill – this stretch can be tough with a North wind!) where a break at the Casey’s is suggested before heading on to the next control at Lansing. \nLeaving Lansing there’s that “cross the Mississippi” thing again with the requisite climb away from the river before heading toward Viroqua. This is a fairly tough stretch\, your RBA has done it in both directions and it’s a toughie both ways! At Viroqua you can either stop at the Kwik Trip or any other place that appeals to you (Culver’s\, Dairy Queen\, Community Co-Op\, etc) as it’s an open control. \nThen we’ll head off to Ontario. There’s a convenience store there but unless you’re pretty quick it’s likely to be closed. You can either stop at the bar for food or there’s a place on your brevet card & cue sheet where you can top up water bottles (it’s an info control). Leaving Ontario\, we’ll head back to Richland Center. \nThe total distance is 255.7 miles with 13\,050 feet of climbing according to ridewithgps. \nThe ridewithgps route is here.\nBrevet card here \nComplete the registration form below. You’ll receive an email with a PayPal link to complete your registration. Note that a PayPal account is not required to register. Also note that for 2020 there will be no day of ride registration – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received. \nImportant note: If you register and don’t receive an email confirmation check your spam folder!

SUMMARY:E-F Huntin' 600K
DESCRIPTION:This is “version 2” of this route and we’ve done this one several times. The principle change we made to create version 2 was a somewhat shortened day one with a consequently longer day 2.  \nThis is a challenging but fun route. It has several long climbs – not “crazy steep” but rather ones where you can pick whatever gear you’re comfortable in and spin your way up if you choose or you can make a harder effort knowing you won’t hit a “wall”.  \nThe route also includes a number of longer sections rolling along on ridge tops or river valleys and features a lot of the memorable scenery we love about riding in the Driftless.  \nThe route is designed to be ridden in 2 days with an intervening overnight in “the Big City” to rest and refuel. Both of the hotel choices (the Ramada or Center Lodge) have refrigerators and microwaves in the room so you can stock up with whatever you want after finishing day one and before heading out for day two. Should you not want to do this\, the Kwik Trip on Seminary St is open 24 hours so you can pick up something there. \nACP sanctioned\, 376 miles\, 16\,748 feet of climbing \nDay One here\nDay Two here\nBrevet card here \nComplete the registration form below. You’ll receive an email which will contain a link to complete a waiver electronically and a PayPal link to pay for the ride. Note that there will be no day of ride registration – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received. \nImportant note: If you register and don’t receive an email confirmation check your spam folder! If you find the confirmation there\, right click on it in your mail program and select “not spam” (your mailer might use different words but you get the idea) which will move it to your inbox.
