For those wanting a more relaxed experience, our 14-mile route offers an excellent tour of Zink Ranch, 3 miles of gravel, and some undulating tarmac. Serious photo potential. Serious cool vibe potential. Serious flora-sighting potential.
More miles mean more fun! The 40-mile route means you are more comfortable with longer rides and/or want to take it "easy" over the weekend. We get that. There will be riders on the longer routes wishing they'd chosen this route after the fact. Trust us. Good news: There is only 25 miles of Osage gravel. Not so good news: There’s over 2,000’ of climbing.
People need more equilibrium in their lives. That’s why we made our 65-mile route nearly half gravel and half pavement. This route will make you feel a whole gamut of emotions. Gravel rides this long guarantee that something will go wrong and that something will also assuredly go your way. It’s all about equilibrium on the 65.
Our 107-mile route is the distance for the County Championship. You'll feel this ride in the part of your soul that longs for an epic adventure. You'll also feel this ride in the bits of your body on the saddle. This distance will be physically challenging, but riders should understand that the 107-mile route is more of a mental challenge. You have to keep your wits if you want to make it. This route is the route you'll smile about for years. Plus, it'll make for some good campfire stories over Osage Passage weekend.

Dude. This is it. The big kahuna. The Osage Passage XL. There are separate rules for this. There is a separate start time for this. There is a certain type of beautiful lunacy to this. Superlatives fail. People talk about doing epic things all the time. There are few who actually do. This is an epic adventure. Truly.
