A Journey Like No Other!

200 miles, three days, and one experience you will never forget - join us for the 36th annual Cottonwood 200 bicycle ride, May 26-28, 2012.

On the Cottonwood 200 you will meet new friends, experience the beauty and challenge of the Kansas Flint Hills and Tallgrass Prairie, visit historic sites, and go back in time as you travel the same paths used by Native Americans, settlers, and cattle drives.

The ride is a loop tour that starts and ends at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, stays overnight in Council Grove, Kansas and covers 200 miles (75 miles day one; 50 miles day two; 75 miles day three). Day one will offer an optional 13 mile scenic loop for those wanting an extra challenge.

2012 registration includes:
• Incredible SAG (rest) stops each day with bountiful food and water every 10-15 miles
• Scrumptious Sunday breakfast and dinner from the historic Hays House restaurant in Council Grove
• Air-conditioned overnight accommodations at Council Grove High School
• Covered transport of rider’s gear
• Bountiful hydration options (water, gatorade, soft drinks) after each day’s ride

Proceeds from the Cottonwood 200 support The Kaw Valley Bicycle Club, The Topeka Cycle Project, and Council Grove USD 437.
