Both rides start at 6 am in KCK and will follow the same route to nearly Emporia. That said, both will also have a detour starting in Eudora and continuing until we are SW of Wellsville. Thanks to Keith for creating the GPS tracks and maps!
The 200 K will overnight in Emporia while the 600 K crew heads to Junction City and back.
I have added an option of hopping on the Flint Hills Nature Trail from Bushong to Council Grove if you want to get off of US-56. Thanks to Paul for the suggestion.
The second 200 K will be from Emporia back to KCK. If our timing is good, we may get to share some miles with the 600 K crew.
Finally, I don't have any plans for a drop bag service for these rides.
Ride lots,
Spencer

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle." - Ernest Hemingway
