Sorry just saw this. Yes the man behind Guru's retired from organizing the rides. Some of the long time riders and organizers got together to keep the spirit of those rides alive and created GravelCalendarKC on blogspot and Facebook in order to give ride organizers a central platform to post their 100% Free Fun gravel rides. So far there has been good turnout 20+ riders at even for new rides. I hope this can continue to gain some traction and keep the sole of Gravel in the grass roots fun and free for all as we see some of the races getting bigger and getting bought out by corporate interests.
