🚨ROUTE OF THE WEEK 🚨

Solid as a Rock | Minneapolis, KS

This week’s route takes you to one of Kansas’ most unexpected landmarks.

Rolling gravel, open farm country, and a finish at Rock City, home to massive natural sandstone concretions. It’s a ride that reminds you why gravel in Kansas is never “just gravel.”

📍 Location: Minneapolis, KS
📏 Distance: 19.2 miles
⬆️ Elevation: ~420 ft
💪Difficulty: Beginner
🗓️ Region: North Central
🚲 Best for: Steady miles, quiet roads, and a post-ride wander among the rocks

Take it easy, take it in, and don’t skip the hike through the rocks at the end.
