Note: This post is about my second Dirty Kanza 200 experience on June 3, 2017.
It’s broken into seven parts:
Part III – Starting Line
Intro
This year when that 4am alarm bell sounded I was ready, quickly rolled out of bed, did the needful, had a light breakfast with Kelly, who rode the 50 miler route, and rolled to the starting line.

Saturday morning downtown Emporia
Mom and Kyle were waiting on us there and we snapped a few photos.
And just like that it’s time to roll!!!
