Much of this route will be familiar to those who rode the prior 200k events this year. The route is flat to rolling. Like the 200, the route parallels the scenic upper Great Miami River where eagles and herons have been seen. At the Troy turnaround riders can lunch at the very good Bakehouse Bakery and Cookies shop. Weather this time of year will range from perfect to cold and wet. 

Note: We will be starting before sunrise and likely finishing after sunset!  Please be familiar with RUSA's rules on reflectivity (https://rusa.org/reflectivity) and make sure to have a solid front and rear light to comply with the law.  If you're caught riding in low light conditions without lights and reflective gear, you will be DNQ!
