Bike Across Kansas starts Saturday

Monday's Hutchison News has a nice article about the ongoing Bike Across Kansas:

The event started in 1973 with a group of friends who challenged themselves to bike across the state, said BAK director Charlie Summers.

This year, three different routes - A, B and K - will take 906 cyclists about 500 miles in eight days, starting at the Colorado border. There are stops each night along the routes, all finishing in Garnett.

BAK started Saturday, June 7th.
