  • There is a bit of a change of course this year, literally, to the gravel.  This year we will be focusing on Ride Across Arizona [May 1 2023]--a 1000 km self-paced adventure from the CA/AZ state line in Topack AZ to the AZ/NM State line near Blue Arizona.  The vast majority of the route is on dirt, with most of the overnights expected to be a boondock where ever we end up.   It will be a bit of a training camp for my return to the Flint Hills on 3 June 2023 for Unbound Gravel 200, where I started my ultra-journey back in 2014.​
