The roadie Tour of KC has been cancelled, but we'll have our own fun. This will be a riding/camping event or a riding/go home for the night thing if you want too :) We'll ride/ride between a few trail systems and camp for the night and do it again the next day.

More details to come, I just hatched up this idea...

Scout Camp Super -D postponed.

Due to unforseen school circumstances and rescheduled MTB races, the scout camp super D has been indefinitely postponed. It will happen this year, just not sure when yet. Check back for more later!

Good ride!

Thanks to Gabriel, Griffin, Micah, Dan O and the Dirty Kanza's own Jim C for coming out and making the inagural MTB-KC event a success! Good ride at a good pace. Finished 56-ish miles in about 4.5 hours, with a few pee breaks, a couple mechanical breaks, and a quik trip stop thrown in for good measure. Hope to see you all at the Lawrence Legato May 22! Look for levy, singletrack, gravel roads, more single track, commuter trail and just a very tiny section of road to get you back to free state brewery :)

Hello all:

The singletrack is portion of tomorrow's MTB-KC ride is obviously going to get cut out, but there will be an alternate route we will be taking. This ride will be road bike friendly (but bumpy), super cross bike friendly, obviosuly MTB friendly and probably end up around 75 miles on mostly some commuter trail routes and roads. Meet at 8 am on the Plaza by the horse statue in JC nichols park if you would like to join the adventure. Cue sheets will be provided. Good weather tomorrow, no rain and sunny! see mtbkc.blogspot.com for more

hope to see you there.
