Point me to Peosta 300K

Ramping up the miles with our 300K up to Peosta.

This route is a small variation on the old “Eldridge North 300K” route. It eliminates most of the stretch along the river on US-52 into Bellevue. Although I always enjoyed riding that stretch when there weren’t any cars, that was seldom the case on nice Saturdays when the road would be filled with cars, motorcycles, etc., sharing the narrow, no-shoulder two lane. The route still does go through Bellevue for a short stop before pushing on North to Peosta. I’ve ridden it several times and always enjoyed the route.

This is a tough route! Don’t let the “easy” 43 feet per mile fool you – there are a couple of pretty stiff climbs and a lot of 4-6% and it takes its toll. Just hope the wind is working for you!

Here are the details:

ACP sanctioned, 192.5 miles, 8,312 feet of climbing.
