Saturday, 23 May was Day One of the 2026 Cottonwood. I'm riding all gravel this year aboard my BMC Twostroke MTB. The first "long gravel" route went west of Council Grove through Wilsey, then north to Dwight before returning along the west shore of the lake.

You can see my own ride reports at Garmin Connect, Strava or Ride With GPS.
