We will meet in Newman Park in Arkansas City, KS on Friday, October 3 around 8am. Breakfast snacks and beverages will be provided. The plan is to follow the river route West of Arkansas City and the first SAG stop will be at Caseys on Skyline Rd. in Arkansas City (5.5mi). The 2nd SAG will be in Udall at the gas stations there (29 mi). 3rd SAG will be at the Caseys in RoseHill (42.9 mi). Lunch will be in Belle Plaine. There is a Louis Cafe, Sonic & Caseys. If you want to wait until Derby (48.9 mi) there are other options like Chick-fil-A, Freddys, etc. From there we will take Oliver and head onto the river route that goes through Wichita. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the route or stick with someone that can guide you but once you hit Chapin Park it is pretty easy to get through. We will end the ride at the Hampton Inn on 29th & Maize Rd.
