The following is for all intents and purposes, the origin of Gravel and Whiskey.
Although I didn’t know it at the time, the purchase of a cyclocross bike in the Fall of 2016 was the start of something big and important in my life.
Through the Fall of 2016, I had the recurring thought that there was something awesome on the horizon, and that I should chase whatever it was.
Fortunately or unfortunately, that something was the Dirty Kanza 200. The Grandaddy of all that is holy in the gravel cycling world.
I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
This is that story.
