RANS rally, Hays, KS -- Labor Day Wknd
Jul 13^th, 2012, 7:45pm

For those interested in making the drive up to Hays, Ks... the 4th annual RANS rally is being held the Friday-Sunday of Labor Day weekend... Check the RANS website for more info as it becomes available... Terrie and I are definitely going up!

In the past, they have had a 12-mile "ice cream" ride on Friday evening, a 35-miler and factory test riding and dinner on Saturday, and a Lake Wilson ride and lunch on Sunday... but I know some new things are planned for this year.

Paul

They don't care, really... Sara Kay and the local B-riders (several who work at brother John's shop there in Hays!) always show up, and are welcome!!! It's rather funny that the only bike shop in Hays is owned by Randy's brother...

Should be beautiful views, but there's a 10% gradient at mile 13, and an 8% one at mile 21... ouch... We may be walkin'!!!

Come on now... Everyone knows Kansas is FLAT! There aren't any hills there! Grin

Having grown up not to far from that area, I know different! My Dad's bike shop used to have a lot of cross country cyclists stop in for repairs, their first questions where always, "when does it get flat" and "when does the wind stop blowing"...

Looks to be a fun ride, have fun!
