More events in the future? Only when I am comfortable the existing events have a solid and sustainable base.
Discover Gravel LLC was created with the intent of spreading the love of gravel. Riding bikes has given me so much. Friendships, health, confidence, life long memories and amazing vacations. I wanted events reflecting my idea of "gravel". Gravel is what we have to ride on here in Emporia, KS. I grew up driving backroads. I appreciate the beauty you can only see when you slow down and absorb the countryside around you. Gravel is simply an accepted term that's come to embody ALL those backroads. Rough rock, fine rock, packed dirt, washed out rutted ranch roads, grass field access roads...even broken pavement...they are all types of backroads. They are all my "gravel".
