JM Collingwood Barn Rat Filthy 50 Gravel

Join us at the historic JM Collingwood Barn, west of Pretty Prairie, Kansas in the beautiful Ninnescah River Valley! The largest barn in Kansas, built in 1913, is a hidden gem and you'll be in awe of its architectural craftsmanship! 

The routes will head south from the barn into Kingman County this year, exploring the roller hills, bluffs, and open grasslands between Murdock and Kingman.

The roads in our area of Kansas range from fast hard pack to light sand over hard pack with some stretches of deeper sand that change in firmness with rainfall amounts. We do our best to limit the amount of deep sand, but it is all part of the challenge in the Ninnescah River Valley.

REGISTRATION FEE INCLUDES YOUR CHOICE OF A LONG-SLEEVED OR SHORT-SLEEVED T-SHIRT, A HOLOGRAPHIC STICKER,  A HOMEMADE POST-RIDE SOUP AND CINNAMON ROLL MEAL (MEAT AND VEGETARIAN OPTIONS), AND AN OPTIONAL CRAFT BEER FROM SANDHILLS BREWING. REGISTER BY OCTOBER 14TH TO GUARANTEE A T-SHIRT BY EVENT DAY.

**AS OF OCTOBER 14TH AT 9PM (CUTOFF TIME FOR SHIRT ORDERS), ONLY LIMITED SHORT-SLEEVE SHIRTS LEFT FOR REGISTRANTS UNTIL THEY RUN OUT.**

YOU MAY BUY ADDITIONAL MERCHANDISE ITEMS IF YOU WISH…Extra t-shirts from this year and previous years' events, stickers, and meal vouchers for supporters that attend with you. 

The top 3 riders of each race will receive a custom award created by talented, local artists. First place will again this year be a one-of-a-kind metalwork barn rat award. Photos of the awards will be posted on social media closer to the event.

After your ride, relax in the spacious barn loft with a traditional Midwest soup and cinnamon roll meal. Brenda's Taco Soup or The Blew Heeler Special Tomato Soup by The Blew Heeler and cinnamon rolls from the Cozy Coop, both of Pretty Prairie. 

Sandhills Brewing of Hutchinson will be joining us with their craft beer for those that wish to partake.

Enjoy the music of John Depew of Arlington post-ride in the loft.

We are raising money for our local non-profit, the Pretty Prairie Community Food Pantry, 501(c)(3), as they are in need of a new backup generator to prevent food loss in case of a power outage. Meal proceeds of each registration go to the Food Pantry and you may also donate to their cause in the merchandise section. We thank you so very much in advance for your generosity.

If you live a good distance from here and wish to arrive the night before, as to not have to drive too far the morning of the ride, there are options for lodging close by! We include a list of local places to stay in the confirmation email when you register, but you can contact us for that list, as well.                                                                 

Below are the links to the Facebook and Instagram pages dedicated to the ride...updates and information will be posted there, but you, as a participant, will also receive important information regarding ride day by the email you provide us through registration.
