(KNZA)--The 50th Biking Across Kansas tour, the annual celebration of bicycling and the Sunflower state, will hit the highways and byways June 8th-15th.
This year's route will begin just west of Tribune in western Kansas.
Riders will cover more than 480 miles in the span of a week, staying overnight locally in Frankfort and Holton. The ride will conclude in Atchison on the banks of the Missouri River.
Riders pedal between 50 and 80 miles each day.
Each year, riders represent a wide age span and multiple generational families participation. In 2023, the youngest rider was 13 and the oldest was 87.
Starting with around 75 riders in 1975, the ride has grown to as many as 800 participating in recent years.
