Routes
We take pride in making the Dust Bowl 100 an event that is truly achievable for participants of all experience levels and skill sets. Our terrain is welcoming and our routes can be described as flat to rolling. Our gravel is manicured and hardpacked (at least by Indiana standards, and as long as it hasn't been recently graded!). And while the July weather can increase the toughness factor of the event, we offer ample SAG stops to ensure you have the hydration and fuel to keep you going (spaced approximately every 20 miles).
So the real challenge becomes one between you and yourself. How hard can you push? How quickly can you finish? What PR can you smash? What memories will you make? Which route will you choose?
