The 54-mile Mixed Surface route offers a unique and adventurous experience, featuring an even split of 27 miles of gravel and 27 miles of asphalt.  This ride departs with the main group at 7:00 AM, setting out across the diverse and scenic terrain of Ellis County.

Local cycling enthusiast Ron Leiker will ride along, offering route updates, answering questions, and sharing local insight and stories along the way.  Riders will encounter rolling terrain that may include dirt, sand, washboard, chalk, and even the occasional mud, making this route perfect for those seeking a bit of adventure.

The route is thoughtfully coordinated to align with the performance schedule at all four churches, allowing riders to fully experience the music and atmosphere at each stop.

The $50 registration fee includes a post-rider German meal with live music, a commemorative T-shirt, and a swag bag.
