Blast to Nebraska = B2N, May 21-22, 2010 PDF Print

Prior to signing up for the Dirty Kanza 200 this year, my friend Keith Clark convinced me we should do our previously planned Blast to Nebraska - B2N.  The idea for this came after a double century on road bikes 6 of us had done in March 2009.  Back then we rode 206 miles from my house in Bartlesville, OK to Lawrence, KS; this was the first double century any of us had ridden.  During the Lawrence Double we had several east-west cross sections that were necessary to keep the ride on paved roads.  Soon after Keith suggested next time we ride “straight up the gut”, using whatever road takes us north while minimizing east-west traffic (hence “blast”), whether that road be paved, gravel, dirt, or cow path.

Dirty Kanza 2009 PDF Print

 

DIrty Kanza 2009 It was the evening of Jan 11th - when my cell phone rang.  It was Kevin Doggett - he had been out on the internet and realized it was opening day to sign up for the Dirty Kanza and he was worried that it would fill up.  I said, "Kevin - this is crazy - 205 miles - we have never done that many miles on paved roads. This is on dirt / gravel roads in the Flint Hills - What are you thinking?"  There was a long pause and then he made this bold statement "We Can Do It".   I shook my head and said "OK - sign me up, why not - I don't have anything else to do on May 30th".   So that is how this adventure got started!!

Radar Looks Good - 4:42AM :) PDF Print

Sometimes the Old Time Weather God's like to throw a spit ball at the new High Tech Radar Want-a-Bees .    I also see that 'Water Man' (aka Jack) has lost some of his adventurism or maybe he has gained some common sense  - either way Jack good call on delaying the Saturday 9am ride till noon.
