Situated 30 minutes northeast of Kansas City, Missouri, the roads of Excelsior Springs give quick access to a huge network of gravel roads winding through the hilly countryside. The views give way to towering hills, tree lined roads, streams and farmland. Word is traveling fast about our little gravelhood chalked full of endless punchy climbs and white knuckle descents where roads are rarely straight. Situated in the bluffs surrounding the Missouri River valley, you will find one of the most challenging routes you will ever ride. Experience it for yourself and enjoy the welcoming, small town charm of Excelsior Springs.
Be prepared to be challenged – Our gravelhood is should not be taken lightly! Opal Wapoo packs in more repetitive climbing per mile than just about any other race. Bring your climbing legs and be prepared to experience some of the most unique gravel roads in the country.
Wonderful town, great support team and local businesses. A wonderful challenging ride, be aggressive as you like or just ride and enjoy the scenery. You won’t be disappointed, love every moment.
Great event! One of the most challenging races I’ve done. Very well organized and all the volunteers were awesome. I will be back next year!
