New for 2020, this is a revision of the Quad Cities "Eldridge North 200K" that used to run up to Bellevue. We've revised the route so that it skips the nice, but busy, run up to Bellevue on US-52. Don't worry, there are lots of places to refresh along the way including Preston, Andrew and, … Continue reading "Making for Maquoketa 200K"

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, … Continue reading "Point me to Peosta 300K"

This is one of the old Quad Cities routes but it was always a favorite of mine. Nice roll out of the Eldridge Quality Inn through Bennett, Wilton and out to the turnaround at Nichols. Not a whole lot of climbing but on occasion the wind can make this route a toughie! It works out … Continue reading "Pocketful of Nichols 200K"

A very nice loop through the Driftless areas of Eastern Iowa and Western Wisconsin. We leave West Union on US-18 but are quickly on IA-B64 (Golden Rd) headed toward Elgin and the Turkey River valley. From there we head over to St Olaf and then begin the generally uphill trek toward the first control at … Continue reading "West Union 400K"
