This time it was late fall 2017. A friend that had fallen in love with cyclocross season started to look into gravel riding and decided we needed to do this too. I borrowed a bike from her and we went for a ride. It was fun, it was different. Let’s give it a try. The Dirty Kanza Events are lottery driven and no guaranteed entries. We put together teams so that we could all go or not go and not leave anyone behind. We registered when the lottery opened and waited for lottery day in January.
When lottery day arrived, a slow trickle of entries started and by the end of the day almost everyone that we had planned to go with had gotten in. Then the reality set it. Guess it is time to buy a bike, guess it is time to figure this gravel thing out, guess we’d better get training. Holy cow!
