In three short weeks, registration for Flint Hills Gravel opens up. 2027 will be our 7th year. I started Flint Hills Gravel back in 2021 with a few simple goals. Show off the roads I grew up on, bring some business to Americus and show my friends a good time. I like to think at our core, we are still doing the same things today.

Sign up in November. Come see us in April.

I'll show you some great roads, a wonderful small town and some of my closest friends.

🌶️ HATCH GREEN CHILIES ARE HERE! 🌶️

Come down to Radius Brewing Company Taphouse and get your Hatch Green Chilies while they’re hot! 🔥

Never had Hatch chilies before? They’re a variety of green chile grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, famous for their fresh, roasted flavor and just the right amount of smoky heat. They can range from mild to spicy, but they’re especially delicious roasted and added to just about EVERYTHING. 🌶️🤤

So come grab some, support local, and spice up your weekend! Maybe you'll see some of your friends from Discover Gravel LLC.

One of the goals we’ve had since starting the Flint Hills Gravel Ride has been to give back to the Americus community that has supported us from day one.

We’re proud to continue that tradition by sponsoring the ARO Ponytail Softball Team this season! 🥎

Investing in local kids and community programs is one small way we can say thank you to the town that has embraced Discover Gravel LLC and the Flint Hills Gravel over the years.
