I searched for a century ride in Minnesota this summer and stumbled across a series of gravel road races. I plan on doing Trans Iowa next year, but hopefully I can add a few of these in as well. Many have no entrance fee and most provide no support beyond a cue sheet.

Thanks Dennis, it’s great to find an entirely different set of races I’d like to do.
