Experience the land, the towns, and the history of Kansas from the seat of your bicycle.

The best part of BAK is getting away from the rest of the world and exploring the out-of-the way places that still exist on the backroads and byways of Kansas.

Daily biking distances range from approximately 50 to 80 miles over the course of eight days. BAK participants stay in small towns along the way. Local high school gymnasiums and school grounds serve as a place for riders to shower, repair their bikes, eat, and sleep. Cyclists’ personal luggage and tents are transported from town to town by large Penske moving trucks. About half of the participants bring tents and camp out while the other half prefer to lay out sleeping bags inside the gymnasiums.
