Hotel is booked, waiting for Saturday 8:00 am to register. Best gravel race I've been to in my opinion.
Frank is our local meteorologist and gravel cyclist. He'll be at DK200 as well. https://www.facebook.com/meteorologist.frank/videos/2422343531124620/ He does DK weather updates every year.
Clear lenses or glasses for when the sun starts going down. I finished after sundown last year and had to ride without my glasses. There was a section of roads in the end that had tall grass on the sides of the roads.…
There are quite a few videos on youtube of last years and previous years races you can look at. Or look at the videos that "Gravel Guru" has posted. DK doesn't really have pea gravel, it's rock and there were a few…
It pays to constantly check on booking sites. I just scored a room at a hotel in Emporia (although I feel like it's not real, knock on wood.) Check daily
All, I have a DK200 spot that I would like to transfer to a DK100 if anyone has a DK100 available and wants to transfer to the DK200. Had someone lined up but that fell through. message me here, or email.…

I have a DK200 spot that I'm entertaining swapping to DK100 if anyone would like to swap their DK100 to my DK200. Message me here. Thanks
I did it last year in the mud and I think skinny tires help shed the mud but even if dry I wouldn't run a slick. There are to many 35+ mph descents with small bridges, ruts, and sharp turns at the bottom of them. Also a…
I finished the 200 last year and was left feeling much the same. I think what really got me was how bad I got gouged on my Hotel room, I spent over $500 for a two night stay at a f$ckin Best Western. My "A" race this…
I put a XTR M8000 with Wolftooth TanPan on my Jamis Renegade Expert in order to run a 11-40 cassette. Also in my research prior to Dirty Kanzaa 200 and LandRun 100 I determined that most of the rear derailleur failures…

I ride Maxis Ramblers 40c tubeless. I probably see at least 4-5miles of pavement in a 40ish mile gravel ride. I've put about 600miles so far on them with that much pavement and haven't really noticed any excess wearing.…
I have a 2015 Renegade Expert. You'll really like it when you go tubeless and ditch the factory wheel set, I dropped almost 2lbs off mine with the change.
Just switched to Syzrs and Giro Code VR's from regular Speedplay and road shoes. Got to test them out at the Landrun 100 and they had no issues in the crazy muddy clay. I clipped in and out with no issues when the shoe…
I have a 2015 Renegade Expert. When looking at similar bikes like the WarBird I just looked the components vs cost, the Renegade is a great value. The newer 2016 and 2017's are even better values as they have better…
