The leaves are changing and Saturday's forecast looks great (Sunny and in the 50's) for his 62 miler out to Cleveland and back - Updated OCG Route. Today's light rain is a welcomed site and will keep the dust down making course conditions ideal.

Where: Ride starts at the Price Chopper (15970 South Mur-Len Road, Olathe, KS)

We kicked the season off in style with a record turnout for the Gunn City Gravelrie. A great day for gravel grinding on a course that included parts of the Katy Trail, some double track/single track and of course plenty of gravel. Thanks again to Kevin Nierman for hosting a great event.
Lots of pictures coming..

Awesome Lone Star Gravel Ride
Curtis Martell is starting the gravel grinding season a little early, but we like the way he is thinking.
From Curtis....Please join me for the third Awesome Lone Star Gravel Ride this Labor Day. We depart at 9:00 AM from the Martell house for about 50 miles of gravel heading southwest to Lone Star Lake and beyond. There are a couple of hills. You might even ride on a "road" you've never been on. Sag stop with Yellow Sub sandwiches and Popsicles delivered for lunch at about 35 miles. When we finish, the beer fridge will be open. 'Cross bike is the weapon of choice but it's been done on an MTB. Maps provided, no cost other than a few bucks if you want a sandwich.
What: Awesome Lone Star Gravel Ride
When: September 5th, 2011 - 9:00 am
Where: 2017 Melholland Rd, Lawrence, KS
