Point me to Peosta 300K
2021-05-01 07:00 - 2021-05-02 03:00 | Quality Inn, 1000 E Iowa St, Eldridge, 52748, United States
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.
Here are the details: ACP certified, 192.2 miles, 8,307 feet of climbing, ridewithgps link here.

Making for Maquoketa 200K
2021-05-01 07:00 - 20:30 | Quality Inn, 1000 E Iowa St, Eldridge, 52748, United States
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, of course, Maquoketa.
RUSA certified, 129.8 miles, 5,166 feet of climbing, ridewithgps route here.
Oh, and it’s pronounced “Ma-Coke-Ka-ta”

Pocketful of Nichols 200K
2021-04-17 08:00 - 21:30 | Quality Inn, 1000 E Iowa St, Eldridge, 52748, United States
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 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.
124.2 miles, 2857 feet of climbing, ACP certified
