River Road Classic Gravel Race and Lefty's New Whip!

#biggravelmiles #gravelracing #vanlife
If you are looking for the perfect early season grassroots gravel event to kick off the season, this might be it! The River Road Classic is located in New Franklin, Missouri which is about 30 minutes from Columbia. There are 65 and 35 mile route options so somthing for everyone. I also like that the race starts at 10 because by 10 it's starting to warm up and it gives people time to drive in from other places. And if camping is your jam, there is RV, Van, and tent camping about 50 yards from the start of the race.

Do a quick vid for all the races you're doing and/or are happening in the KC area. I'm just up the road in the land of Gravel Worlds. We had a new race on Sat (Louisville Classic Gravel Grinder), put on by Velo Omaha. Good event, wind was insane. Is there a good place to search all events?

[@TysRides]

That's a good idea, but to be honest, I'm not even exactly sure which ones I'm doing yet. I made a video a few months back of some races within a few hours of KC I've done that are really good events. I think there is a site, or at least there used to be, that lists all the events. It was the Gravel Cyclists website, I believe.

Looks like a great ride. I wish I had known about it! Are you going to be at the STG gravel classic on 4/27, The Equalizer in Marthasville on 7/28 or the Karl Becker Memorial in Jonesburg 10/6?

[@TysRides]

I think I'm going to be at the Ste. Gen race!

Awesome van! What brand cycling socks and gloves are you wearing? The ones I got on Aliexpress are total sh*t lol so looking to upgrade.
