The Groad to Kanza finally arrives to Emporia, Kansas, the epicenter of gravel cycling. The culmination of the atypical training that Ted took on in 2019 -- from snowy ski days way back in Episode 1 to fat biking in northern Canada in Episode 2, from there to Land Run, BWR, and now the big daddy, Dirty Kanza. This episode features the powerhouse World Tour horsepower that we knew was coming.
Take a step into Ted's shoes to see the lead-up to the race, the stifling hot race across the flint hills of Kansas, and the party that takes of Commercial Street late into the night.
The Groad to Kanza may have reached Kansas, but the Groad will continue. Stay tuned...

Ted, you’re probably too humble of a guy to admit this, but you showing up at this race years back probably was what gave it the credibility to drawl in other big talent, kudos to you for taking a risk I know you have a product to sell as well, but it’s so cool that you put your heart and soul into something like this

That looks so epic, challenging and what an adventure- win or lose. To think there is 200 miles of gravel and going full gas is insane. Truly a great athletic feat to even finish.

I am fat old and slow but managed to get psyched and finish BWR and DK. Learned a lot through following Ted's Excellent Adventures. THX for the inspiration.

GROAD to Kanza - and the race video seemingly marks the midpoint of the story - how awesome is that? This series is just so good...

Ted is such a class act. Great ambassador to the Dirty Kanza and hope to meet him at my third kanza next year. Awesome job Ted!

Hi Ted, your Groad to Kanza videos serie is a blast, I watched them all. I shook your hand at the Expo on Friday while pro photographers were taking pictures. You are certainly one of the top gravel racers and have the opportunity to lead this growing cycling sport in one direction or the other. Keep racing gravel events and stay one of the true ambassadors gravel needs.

Awesome video series - really gives me a sense of what this event is all about! I was a crappy mountain biker for several years, before becoming a full-time roadie over the last 3. Watching all that I've seen about DK, though, is making me consider participation in the 25 (or 50, if I'm feeling particularly cheeky) as a genuine bucket list item!

Dirty Kanza is now a true Monument in my opinion, late in the spring season, it's got the distance and as hard as Paris-Roubaix with a different kind of beating to be taken. It stands alone as the U.S. Monument race.

Awesome series TK! It was super fun to watch your journey leading up to DK and ultimately the conclusion. Still a very strong finish, and really inspired by your amazing work on and off the bike. I’m excited to see what comes next, incl. Rooted Vermont, and hopefully will catch you (more likely you catch me) on the roads around VT!

Great vid Ted! Having done the 100 this year on a SuperX (yes, because I saw the vid on the Cannondale site LOL) and having had you pass me on several Grasshoppers while I was on the short course while you were on the long, you've been inspiring my gravel riding for several years now. But I also want to thank you for starting UnTapped. I have Celiac and just discovered UnTapped. It's going to keep me going and help me do the DK200 next year. And you're spot on when you say there's something special about DK. I fell in love with it and can't wait for next year. See you at the early Grasshoppers.

As a quasi 50 year old cycling beginner who's a follower & Ted King fan from far away tiny little Malta (in Europe....Google it) I know I will never get to meet the guy to or to come close to events like this. But I have to say it: Ted I admire the way you keep your feet firmly planted on the ground, & speak to us eyeball to eyeball, not from the high up position you worked so hard to reach in life. Yes, you inspire people way far away than most would think. Best regards, to you & your loved ones in these trying times.

I hope, someday, kinda, that DK becomes a new breed of one-day classic. It might already be- but I think it's prestige in the world-wide scope of cycling has lots of room to grow.

I am confused about how the race is “self-supported” when you can get your bike worked on, bottles prepared/handed to you, and just general things to make a single rider’s race easier. I get the EF water fountain that is available to all riders, but doesn’t the former favour riders who can afford to have their family members fly in to crew for them? Shouldn’t a self-supported race force you to carry everything you need with the pit stops only offering things available to all participants? Just curious. Cheers
