Biking Across Kansas (BAK) is a recreational bicycle tour that crosses the state of Kansas within the space of eight days. Participants enjoy the challenge, camaraderie, and adventure of pedaling from Colorado to Missouri under their own power. It is a unique way to discover the history and quiet beauty of the Great Plains region. Cyclists experience the friendly hospitality of the many small communities along the way.
Biking Across Kansas began in June 1975 and has been held annually ever since. The route varies from year to year, and takes place on paved roads, using secondary state highways and county roads wherever possible. BAK provides SAG support along the route, typically every 10-15 miles, as well as a celebration picnic at the finish.
The 2012 edition of the tour leaves Tribune, near the Colorado border, on Saturday, June 9th, and arrives in Elwood, on the Missouri River, on June 16th. The route covers about 475 miles, with overnights in Sharon Springs, Oakley, Hoxie, Logan, Downs, Clyde, Centralia, and Troy.
