This ride follows a good part of the AV 300k route, minus some of the frills. After 30 miles of relatively easy riding out to Cannon Falls, your work will begin and continue for 190 miles with rollers, good climbs and descents, some beautiful valleys and river views. Once you get to Plainview (mile 90) the real 400k route will test you for the next 60 miles starting with a fun descent then 4 good climbs, along with 3 beautiful descents before returning to Plainview and resuming significant parts of the 300k route, with a couple of new roads thrown in. You will have earned an easy ride back in from Cannon Falls for the last 30 miles.
Electronic Ride Waiver
We have worked with RUSA on an electronic ride waiver that we are now rolling out for all of our rides. This will replace our paper waivers at the start. We will still bring some as a backup. You can click here to go to the MN Randonneurs SmartWaiver page. Please fill out the form there with all the requested information. Once you click submit, an email with a download link of the electronic waiver will be sent to you, to the Minnesota RBA (Norman Ehrentreich), and to the RUSA insurance account. After that, you will be sent back to a landing page on the mnrando.org site that you can close.
