"No way I'm doing 150 miles of gravel in July...in Kansas."
What if I told you the first 7 hours are through the night in cooler temps and you'd still be done before 1pm the next day?
"You son of a muddy mile march I'm IN!!!"
150 miles. Start Friday at 9pm. End early Saturday afternoon. Find AC and go to sleep.

Kansas in July is hot. If you are considering this category then you are experienced and you know this. However, Kansas nights in July can be lots of things. Cool and windy. Hot and humid. Rainy and stormy. Rarely super windy though.
150 miles at the slowest allowed 10mph is 15 hours maximum. We'll start at 9pm...you do your math for Finish time.

The Rock Ridge Gravel crew has got you! You will have multiple Depot stations provided by Discover Gravel. Depending on the course there may even be a gas station on course. BRING MONEY for this. RRG has your back. Depot Stations will have Hydration including Skratch Labs. If you are picky though...bring your own! We'll have water!
Darkside riders are allowed one SAG bag. Depending on the course these are usually placed about half way.
