Learn More About This Event

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.

Images From The Photo Album
The Chief Theater in Coldwater, Kansas was built in 1928, and radiates a nostalgic charm from the days of silent movies, newsreels and nickelodeons. In the late 1940's the theater was decorated in a Native American theme with colorful murals in the lobby and auditorium which have been preserved to this day. This faithfully-restored theater now features current release on a new state-of-the-art projection system. Big Basin is a Huge natural sink hole more than one mile in diameter and about 100 feet deep. The Big Basin Prairie Preserve is now home to about 50 head of free-roaming buffalo. In the 1800s this area was often an encampment for settlers, cowboys, or Indians. The Gypsum Hills on Hwy 160 west of Medicine Lodge. A SAG stop in southwestern Kansas on BAK 2006.
