关于赛事

ANNUAL WALNUT VALLEY METRIC

The Walnut Valley Metric routes travel through scenic Cowley County on gently rolling hills and lightly traveled secondary roads. Registration includes SAGs and lunch at Liberty Township School House.  The gravel route does include two "stone arch bridges" and two that you can ride to 1/3 of a mile from the route.  Several additional "stone arch bridges" are within .5 to .75 m on gravel from the 65 m road route.  There are only 1700 stone arch bridges remaining in the United States according to Cowley County website.  Interestingly, 18 of those historical stone bridges are in Cowley County!

Proceeds from the ride benefit the Prairie Sunset Trail and Redbud Trail.
