I am looking at mapping the route again this weekend possibly. I am curious to know what the interest in gravel is. I am certain I would like to see it at 50% or more, but would like some feedback from anyone who might be interested. More or less gravel is the question? Keep in my the whole thing is pretty flat. Comments?

Here is a link to the current Almanzo 100 route. The first third of this race is nearly all gravel while the majority of the rest is on old county roads. This final two-thirds of this route will change significantly as more gravel will be added in place of the county roads, but hopefully this will give you an idea of what is in store.

Thank you for your interest an welcome to the official blogspot for the Almanzo 100. This blog will feature route updates as well as sponsor information in addition to any information that comes our way from you, the viewer and hopeful racer.
