About 340 miles of Iowa gravel, ridden non-stop through a full day and night with no support and no cue sheets. The spiritual successor to Trans Iowa, out of Winterset every mid-April.
The route
About 547km (340 miles) of Iowa gravel grid and B-roads out of Winterset, with roughly 6,000m of climbing stacked up over relentless rollers rather than any single big climb. You self-navigate the whole way from a roster of turns.
Mid-April, Winterset
Highs around 18°C and lows around 4°C, but it has dropped to -7°C. Rain on 31% of days. Pack for the cold end, not the average.
