Gimme half that distance, no people, singletrack and several food and coffee stops, thank you very much.

I’m fascinated by the hype and the idea of a 200 mile day/night on gravel roads.
I did some reading on it last night it sounds like it evolved from a cool race in an unassuming locale to a destination shit show. It went from a few hundred to almost a few thousand riders since ‘06.
Also a good point about no singletrack. I love how gravel rides I’ve done around here mix in a good amount of real trail to keep the roadies on their toes. You don’t get that in Kansas.
