SUMMARY:Strade Bianche Rouleur Challenge – Dart Populaire
DESCRIPTION:We celebrate the history of our sport by riding the “white roads” in Northeastern Iowa. Completion of this ride will count for the RUSA Rouleur award and pick up some Gravel K’s! \nThis is the first ride in our “Strade Bianche Rouleur Challenge” and is a team event. Teams consist of a minimum of 3 and maximum of 5 riders and at least 3 must finish in order to receive credit. More details here. \nWe’ve developed two routes for this event since if we have more than one team the second team would have to wait an hour before starting. This way we can have 10 riders (2 teams) before having to alternate start times. \nWe’ll start later than normal so you can drive to the start on the morning of the ride. After the ride we’ll have an informal gathering for dinner and beverages where we can review the days activities (also known as “talk about how great we are”) and discuss the next days ride. \nThis is going to be a fun weekend of riding and you won’t want to miss it! \nHere are the routes: \nLe Claire route: 79.2 miles\, 2\,197 feet of climbing\, 32.3 miles of gravel (41%)\, 46.9 miles paved (59%) \nEldridge route: 83.5 miles\, 2\,961 feet of climbing\, 24.5 miles of gravel (29%)\, 59 miles paved (71%) \nTo register for this event: \n\n\n\nClick on the link below to complete a waiver.\nAfter completing the waiver you’ll be taken to PayPal (note that a PayPal account is not required)\n\n\n\nRegister \nNote that there will be no day of ride registration – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received. \nCurrently RegisteredWill Anderson Greg Smith Eric Peterson Randy Anderson \nIf you’ve registered and want to cancel\, please go to this page to cancel

SUMMARY:Strade Bianche Rouleur Challenge - Stockton 100K
DESCRIPTION:We celebrate the history of our sport by riding the “white roads” in Northwestern Illinois. Completion of this ride will count for the RUSA Rouleur award and pick up some Gravel K’s! \nThis is the second weekend of our “Strade Bianche Rouleur Challenge”. \nWe’ll start later than normal so you can drive to the start on the morning of the ride. After the ride we’ll have an informal gathering for dinner and beverages where we can review the days activities (also known as “talk about how great we are”) and discuss the next days ride. \nThe route will start and finish in Stockton\, Il. This is a relatively easy gravel route but 28mm tires or greater are recommended for easier negotiation of the gravel sections. Roughly 23% of the route is on gravel including some gravelly climbs so we’ll get the full experience. We’ll be using the RUSA “gravel timer” to account for the somewhat slower pace on the gravel segments. \nThere are ample stops to refuel and refresh water bottles along the route including an optional stop at the Pecatonia Tap House in Warren if you’re so inclined. \nThe ridewithgps route is here. \nThis is going to be a fun weekend of riding and you won’t want to miss it! \nTo register for this event: \n\n\n\nClick on the link below to complete a waiver.\nAfter completing the waiver you’ll be taken to PayPal (note that a PayPal account is not required)\n\n\n\nRegister \nNote that there will be no day of ride registration – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received. \nCurrently RegisteredKajal Joshi Greg Smith Samuel Weitekamp Randy Anderson Eric Peterson Michael Geuss Kelli Brannen \nIf you’ve registered and want to cancel\, please go to this page to cancel

SUMMARY:Strade Bianche Rouleur Challenge - Stockton 125K
DESCRIPTION:We celebrate the history of our sport by riding the “white roads” in Northwestern Illinois. Completion of this ride will count for the RUSA Rouleur award and pick up some Gravel K’s! \nThis is the last ride in our gravel Rouleur series and we’ll start early so those of you who come from afar will be able to finish the ride before driving home. \nThe ride will start and finish in Stockton\, IL. This route is considerably tougher than our 100K route and includes more gravel sections with just about half of the route on gravel. The route includes several steep climbs and descents on gravel so wider tires (32mm or greater) and good brakes are a must. \nThe route is 81 miles\, 37 of which is gravel\, 5\,720 feet of climbing. Ridewithgps here. \nThis is going to be a fun weekend of riding and you won’t want to miss it! \nTo register for this event: \n\n\n\nClick on the link below to complete a waiver.\nAfter completing the waiver you’ll be taken to PayPal (note that a PayPal account is not required)\n\n\n\nRegister \nNote that there will be no day of ride registration – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received. \nCurrently RegisteredSamuel Weitekamp Randy Anderson Kelli Brannen \nIf you’ve registered and want to cancel\, please go to this page to cancel

SUMMARY:The 3M 600K
DESCRIPTION:The 3M 600K \nFor 2025 I’ve selected the best routes offered out of Eldridge to create a reverse series.

SUMMARY:Pocketful of Nichols 200K
DESCRIPTION:This route has a 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 that you’ll likely get to Wilton on the return around lunch time so you can stop at the Subway to refuel for the rest of the ride if so inclined or press on to the finish. \nHere are the details: \nRUSA certified (not ACP)\, 124.7 miles\, 2894 feet of climbing\, ridewithgps route here \nTo register for this event: \n\n\n\nClick on the link below to complete a waiver.\nAfter completing the waiver you’ll be taken to PayPal (note that a PayPal account is not required)\n\n\n\nRegister \nRegistration closes 24 hours prior to the ride start time – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received.
