A Journey Like No Other!
In 1976, a hearty group of cyclists searched for a way to celebrate the nation’s 200th birthday. Looking at their maps, they realized a round trip from Topeka to Cottonwood Falls, Kansas would be 200 miles, and cover some of the best cycling terrain in the state.
Thus began the Cottonwood 200, now in its historic 32nd year. Join us for a three day tour and go back in time as you travel the same paths used by Native Americans, settlers, and cattle drives.
The ride covers 200 miles (75 miles day one; 50 miles day two; 75 miles day three) over the Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-26, 2008.
It is a loop tour that starts and ends at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas.
2008 registration is $79.00, which includes the following:
1) SAG (rest) stops with bountiful food and water approximately every 10-15 miles;
2) Sunday breakfast and dinner;
3) Overnight accommodations at Council Grove High School.
2008 Registration is Now Open!
