Pack your bags, load your bicycle, and pedal yourself to Basecamp Flint Hills for an exclusive group campout just for bikepackers. This is the fourth year of our popular, self-supported, create-your-own-route bikepacking event.
Unlimited route options via rail-trail, gravel or pavement allow you choose your own adventure. Ride solo or hook up with some folks from a local cycling community. This is a great opportunity to test out new gear and compare stories with other adventure seeking cyclists.
Basecamp Flint Hills, located at mile 70 of the 117 mile long Flint Hills Trail, has shaded acreage for tent camping, hammock trees, potable water, warm showers and plenty of firewood.
Some suggested route options are available on our website. Local cycling groups will also lead rides starting out of various locations in the area. More information available with registration.
