LeLan Dains: Gravel Kansas / Cycling Routes That Tell the Stories of the Land 

Sun. Aug. 7, 2022, 1:30-3 p.m.
McBride Studio, 640 KS-177, Matfield Green, KS 66862

LeLan Dains, former owner of the UNBOUND Gravel cycling race, owner of Gravel City Adventure & Supply Co., and founding chair of Gravel KS will be joining us to talk about the continued rise of gravel cycling and how rural Kansas is perfectly positioned to capture this momentum and become a top global cycling tourism destination. He will discuss the vision of Gravel Kansas to create stories around routes that connect the rider to the place, weaving in history, landmarks and local quirks.

Guests are invited to bring a picnic lunch and linger afterwards to enjoy the 4 miles of hiking trails on the adjacent PrairyArt Path. And, of course, we will have suggestions for cycling routes east and west of Matfield Green if you bring a bike.

Maximum guests: 30
