Go here or here. If you're thinking about doing the ride, register NOW, because there's a limit of 1,000 riders, and they WILL shut down registration. It's a very well-run ride, and it's very difficult!
If you're training for Ironman Wisconsin, this is a must-do event if you can possibly make it. Why? Because completing this will make the Ironman course feel like a piece of cake! Well, not quite, but the HHH 200K has over 10,000 feet of climbing; whereas the Ironman Wisconsin course is more like 4,000 feet.
If you're training for another Ironman after CDA, this is a great endurance ride. Part of my philosophy of Ironman training is to do really hard shit so that the race itself isn't that much of a stretch.
If you don't have too many years of cycling under your belt, you might be better off doing only the 100K, which while technically not that many miles, is harder than most full 100-mile century rides you would ever do (it takes many people 5+ hours just to cover the 100K). If you think you're really tough, and are willing to cry, scream and suffer, go for the 200K, and I would advise that you ride at least 200 miles the week before.
I'm registered for my third execution of the 200K route, which falls 3 weeks after Ironman Brazil, so that should make it even more interesting for me.
