Out (Mid) West

Gravel Worlds. Mile 85

I cycled quite a bit in Calgary and have my road bikes here but as I have to drive them to tarmac they do not get used much and mountain bikes are very slow. As am I on the uptake.

Gravel racing is a big midwestern thing, ( search gravel grinder) There are lots of races, Emporia Kansas has the 'Dirty Kanza' and Lincoln has the 'Gravel Worlds' each year. 150 miles of gravel roads. The winner completed in 7hours 2 min at an overall speed of 21mph

I opened a 'pop up' water station to hydrate those traveling a more sedate pace!

As a side note. This is a classic Keith Jacobshagen Sky. https://kiechelart.com/artist-works.php/?artistId=55232&artist=Keith%20Jacobshagen
