The 2019 Dirty Kanza 200 gravel grinder (now Unbound Gravel) brought professional bike racing action into practically my backyard. The northerly course out of Emporia brought the riders onto familiar roads; I staked out a spot in Alta Vista and waited for the leaders to arrive. See also my YouTube channel for a short video review.
