Announcing The L.O.G. Ride

A rough draft of the logo. 

 Announcing the L.O.G. Ride:

When: April 17th - 18th, 2026

Where: Eskridge, Kansas 

What: Two days of gravel riding in the Flint Hills with fellowship and fun in between. 

Why: To get together with like-minded riders and celebrate the "legends" of the gravel scene who show up.  

Details: First of all, there will be finer details in the coming days. So, check back here on Guitar Ted Productions for any updates.  Times, how to register, and more will be revealed very soon. The plan is to close up the registration before the end of the year. 

Technically the ride is free to enter, but there will be obligatory tasks for each person who chooses to enter this ride. The organizers are going to divvy up tasks to pull the ride off and will split costs amongst the signed on roster. You'll know what your part in pulling off the ride is once the registration has been closed as all who sign on will become part of a group text to discuss how things will be portioned out as to tasks and then costs will be determined. All signers will know their obligations and will need to contribute to the ride fund by mid-January. 

Included in the ride structure will be food, beverage, accommodations for riders to spend the night, (a possible group housing opportunity is being discussed to help defray costs), and options for either the Friday ride, Saturday ride, or both. 

Registrants will enter via post card, because of course! 

Background: 

Last year I was approached by Warren Weibe, a resident of Kansas, to come down and ride in the Flint Hills. He felt his nephews should know where this whole gravel thing started from and he said I was someone who could not only be an example, but a representative of the genre for them. Well.....maybe that is a debatable thing, but the point is, this ride did not happen this year for various reasons. 

 Now Warren hasn't given up on the idea, and he has partnered with Ryan "Uncle Dudley" Dudley from the old "Ride for Masie's Pride" and other gravel rides. Between the two they are determined to have me down to the Flint Hills to ride. 

I chose the date, they are doing everything else, including the naming of the ride, fine details, and whatnot. I decided to come up with the logo, and this may not get used, but that is fine because I am not in charge of this one. I was just asked to spread the word on this platform and a few of my social media accounts. 

From Ryan Dudley's Facebook account concerning the L.O.G. ride:

"Legends of Gravel, aka L.O.G. ride, is an event Warren Wiebe and I are putting together. The tentative plan is that we'll be operating out of Wild Olives Lodge at Lake Wabaunsee. The idea is that a bunch of old farts, the legends of gravel are going to ride bicycles in the Flint Hills for a couple of days. Maybe some youngsters will want to hang out and ride with us old farts. Guitar Ted is a pioneer of gravel. He's also going to be the 'Big Dill of the Flint Hills' for this amazing gathering of silverbacks. So many more details to come, very soon."

Look for more details to come out very soon. Any questions? Feel free to ask in the comments or e-mail me @g.ted.productions@gmail.com and I will collect those queries and forward them on.
