Who: Anyone
What: 100+ miles of a pure Jackson County Journey
When: June 23. Start at 8:00 am
Where: Begins at the Trolly Track Trail trailhead, Volker and Brookside (near UMKC, Russell Stover, Plaza Library)

We'll stop somewhere in Blue Springs together after the lake trails to regroup and get a real meal (where exactly TBD). Other than that, food, water, and other support is on your own. Won't try to drop anyone, but won't sit around all day waiting on you either. Got 100+ miles to finish, hopefully before dark. All the trail systems have water available at them.
Probably try to keep around a ~15 MPH average on the road sections to get us between the gnar. Hopefully a bigger group will provide opportunity for rest (drafting).
Come on out and join the fun. If you've never done a century with dirt included, come gitchyasum. I personally promise you will make it back home (unless you don't...)
Should end up being right at 110 miles or so...about 40% dirt, 60% gravel and pavement.
