Just a thought exercise here: if the Kaw Nation announced that they not only disliked the name, Dirty Kanza, but also disliked the fact that thousands of cyclists were using their ancestral lands for a bike race, how…
GW, If it were me, and I were doing long rides/races in hilly terrain, I would go for the 46/30. The 30 is nice when you are deep into a day of riding and you hit steep/long climbs. The 46 is plenty for any ride I've…
I'm considering this as I am moving to Kansas next month, but there are other events that might conflict with this, and they are easier travel-wise.
The Pantani Ride is the "45 miler." I just looked up the garmin from the last one I did and it's actually 47 miles with 5,354 feet of climbing. It has some horrendous climbs that make you wonder why you ride a bike.…

Zman, have you knocked Virginia off of your list? If not, there are some great gravel rides that I can recommend. My favorite is only 45 miles, but it is hard. Just outside of Charlottesville. Afterward, you can enjoy…
Zman, from what I remember, there is almost no technical riding at HBR. I say this as one with a long history of riding MTB though. There was one singletrack section that was literally about 100 feet long at the most,…
Zman, I would run 700x40 such as the Panaracer Gravel King SK, which I think has been relabeled as a 700x43. There are some fast descents that are worth having a little bit of cushion, but a 700x40ish tire rolls well…
I didn't do it this year, but I did it in 2016. I thought it was a great event. The aid stations were stocked and the staff were really friendly and helpful. It's a tough course with relentless hills, though none are…
