About the event

Join us at the historic JM Collingwood Barn, west of Pretty Prairie, Kansas in the beautiful Ninnescah River Valley!

Last fall was our inaugural event and we are excited for year number two!

We are an all-female team organizing our bike event and so proud of this special property we operate. The largest barn in Kansas, built in 1913, is a hidden gem and you'll be in awe of its architectural craftsmanship! 

The route will take you into the solitude and raw beauty of the Ninnescah River Valley…red dirt roads, massive cottonwood trees, rolling sand hills, acres and acres of grassland, and the great, big wide-open Kansas sky. The roads in this part of Kansas range from hard pack to loose, small pea-sized sand with some stretches of deeper sand, that change in firmness with rainfall amounts. Flat and fast, red roller hills, and some deeper sandy spots that may test your skills (either shift down and spin or dismount cyclocross style and go by foot), and wide open spaces to either cruise at your max speed or a take-it-all-in approach for the tour ride! 

REGISTRATION FEE INCLUDES A T-SHIRT, A WEATHER-RESISTANT HOLOGRAPHIC VINYL STICKER,  A HOMEMADE POST-RIDE SOUP AND CINNAMON ROLL MEAL (MEAT AND VEGETARIAN OPTIONS), AND A CRAFT BEER FROM SAND HILLS BREWING. Soup made by volunteers from the Pretty Prairie Community Food Pantry Board and melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon rolls from Carolyn's Essenhaus in Arlington. 100% of the proceeds of the meal portion of your registration go to the Pretty Prairie Community Food Pantry new building fund.

YOU MAY BUY ADDITIONAL MERCHANDISE ITEMS IF YOU WISH…Extra t-shirts, stickers, and meal vouchers. There is also an option to donate an additional monetary amount to the Pretty Prairie Community Food Pantry (501-(c)(3) new building fund.

The top 3 riders of each race will receive a custom award created by talented, local artists. First place will again this year be our one-of-a-kind metalwork barn rats. Stayed tuned to our Facebook group page for photos! 

All riders will be given chip-timing bibs provided by Timer Guys when picking up their packet before the start of the race and a live finish results link will be provided for the day of the ride. 

There will be 1 mobile mechanical SAG roving the course, in case of an unexpected minor mechanical issue. (More major mechanical issues will unfortunately end the ride for that registrant, but we will have someone pick the rider up to take back to the barn.) One SAG will be at the 25-mile mark for food and water. Our wonderful volunteers will also be placed throughout the course, as well!

Precision Contracting of Cheney, KS is once again providing a luxury restroom trailer...all the comforts of home with 4 stalls...and hot and cold running water!! It's the little things in life! We also have one ADA compliant restroom on the first level of the barn.

Spencer & Rains, an Old Time music duo will be returning to send you off at the starting line and sharing their tunes with you in the barn loft during your post-ride meal!

If you live a good distance from here and wish to arrive the night before, as to not have to drive too far the morning of the ride, there are options for lodging close by! Listed below are several that we recommend:
