Building community, one adventure at a time
Our mission is to build community on and off the bike through outdoor exploration and adventure. Since 2017 we have specialized in gravel/off-road bikes, bikepacking accessories, equipment maintenance, education, and event promotion. We are the Northeast Kansas one stop shop for everything you need for gravel and bikepacking exploration. From racing to wandering the backroads and trails we have it all. Located in the gravel capital of the world (Emporia, KS), we aim to supply, embody and encourage pushing oneself to immerse in nature, allowing you to find confidence in getting lost on your bike and make an adventure of it.
