Ride Description: This is the first 300K of the April 2024 ACP 600K brevet from our Winter/Spring 2024 ACP brevet series and was last seen as part of the 2024 Cracker Swamp 1200. It travels up the Nature Coast and along the Suwanee River before turning inland and heading back to Dunnellon through the rolling hills of Alachua and Marion Counties. Note that most of the climbing is in the last 50 miles of this brevet. None of the climbs are long but several are surprisingly steep. We will start and (very likely) finish in the dark; lights and reflective gear are mandatory and must be presented for inspection prior to the ride start.
