This is a special edition of the Northern Pancake with Toppings 300k ride specifically designed to help a few of our riders complete their Super Randonneur qualification. RUSA gave us special permission to certify this as an ACP ride so this help to qualify an ACP Super Randonneur award.  The ride is open to any MnRando/RUSA member.
 
This is an extended version of the Northern Pancake Route (miles 0-61 & last 10 miles are identical). There are some scenic roads into Wisconsin, crossing the St. Croix river twice with scenic roads along the river. You'll have some minor hills when climbing out of the St. Croix River Valley.is a scenic route with controls in Brooklyn Center - St. Francis - Princeton - Cambridge - Rush City - Grantsburg - St. Croix falls - Centerville - Brooklyn Center.

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.
