Does this mean all the cool kids now need to find the new new thing?

The bikereg server was very slow, but I got in. Looking forward to it, and I would like to ride the DK200 or the Gold Rush Motherload next year.

Not sure about the cool kids comment, or why you felt the need to be "that guy". The 100 had almost half the spots, and a lot of people like me want to dry the shorter distance to get some experience over the terrain before attempting the 200.

Agreed on all fronts.

I got into the 100 as prep for doing the whole 200 next year. I anticipate them looking to expand the field again next year but I don't think there are enough places for people to stay if it gets much bigger.

The hotels sold out probably 2-3 months ago. I booked two rooms that were literally the last of about 3-4 rooms left in the whole town.

I only need one room now. So if anyone needs a room, I have a reservation to sell. It is already prepaid, and we can just transfer the name that the room is in.

PM me if interested.

Hey DK'ers,

We spoke with Dirty Kanza this morning and we agreed to set up a central thread for anybody looking to transfer entries. They will be sending all those asking over to that thread as the "official" thread to use. I've pinned it to the top of this Gravel Racing subforum.

I already asked mbunge to go over there on his separate post, but if you're looking to swap entries or whatever, head over there. Because Dirty Kanza will be forwarding their people over there, there will be many more eyes to check out your requests.

If you have any questions regarding Dirty Kanza, send them their way.
If you have any questions about Riding Gravel, feel free to contact me at ben@ridinggravel.com.

Thanks,
Ben

allroader , "Cool Kids" refers to all the gravel riders who will now have to find a new cycling discipline now that gravel events are the latest rage - like CX was in the 90's. No dis on the 100 - that's awful enough (and what I signed up for). The DK200 riders are certifiable!

I had no problem booking a room last night. I would, however, get that locked down really quick like or you will either be camping or driving in from Topeka.

See you guys there! Praying for mud!
