The 3M 600K

This was a new route for 2023 and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. What are the 3 M’s in the moniker? Some of the towns you’ll pass through enroute to completing a successful 600K: Monticello, Maquoketa and Mechanicsville.

This new 600K route combines two routes we’ve used in the past: the Meander to Manchester 400K and the Eldridge West 200K with changes needed to make the distance work for a 600K. The first day is somewhat shorter than the “first day 400K” standard and the second day is longer as a result.

The first day is identical to the 400K route for the first 60 or so miles so 400K/600K riders can roll out together and have company for a while.

Here are the details:

Full route: 379.8 miles, 13,820 feet of climbing, ridewithgps route here
Day one: 221.2 miles, 8,711 feet of climbing, ridewithgps route here
Day two: 158.4 miles, 5,555 feet of climbing, ridewithgps route here
