This is a “flat as can be” 202k Permanent/ACP Brevet. It is part of our regular winter oprogram of 100k (Half a Pancake) and 200k rides between November and March. It has as little climbing as possible (around 700 to 1000 ft, depending on your GPS system).
We'll experiiment with two start times (6am for the 300k and 400k rides), and 8am for the two shorter 100k and 200k rides. I'll find a ride leader for whatever ride I won't be riding that day. The 100k and 200k routes split around mile 14 after Bunker Hills Park.
The ride is also for those who want an easy brevet to get started in long distance cycling or to get back into shape. It can still be challenging on a windy day as there are many open farm fields with little wind protection. It is a scenic route with controls in Brooklyn Center - St. Francis - Princeton - Isanti - North Branch - Brooklyn Center.
