At that time, gravel grinding was just beginning to catch the interest of the endurance cycling community. However, Jim had grown up in the Flint Hills of east central Kansas and had been riding gravel for decades. Inspired by some of the early gravel grinder events… and convinced the Flint Hills had the best gravel to be found anywhere in the world, Jim and Joel decided to create Dirty Kanza 200. Initially, these two gravel aficionados had no idea the extent to which this whole gravel grinding thing would grow, nor did they give it any real thought. That wasn’t what motivated them. They both simply felt their lives had been enriched through cycling. And DK200 was their attempt to give back to the cycling community. Since then, the popularity of gravel grinding has exploded and is now the fastest growing genre in the cycling industry. The popularity of DK200 has grown too, from 34 participants in 2006, to an anticipated 2,200 riders in 2017. And while that growth has brought with it a few changes to our format and the way we have to manage certain aspects of the event, one thing has remained constant… DK200 is a grass-roots event, organized and managed by folks who are passionate about cycling, and done so for the primary purpose of providing life-enriching cycling experiences for our event participants." ------------- RELATED SHOW LINKS Riding Gravel Forum - Dirty Kanza Entry Transfer Thread Dirty Kanza Website Dirty Kanza Facebook Dirty Kanza Twitter Dirty Kanza on Youtube Dirty Kanza on Instagram Lauf Forks Gravel Guru Website Gravel Guru on Youtube Dirty Kanza Registration Guitar Ted's Blog The Riding Gravel Tire Finder Riding Gravel Event Calendar Riding Gravel Forum Riding Gravel Bike Finder Riding Gravel Tire Finder Interested in sponsoring an episode?
