Aunt D's Challenge = 30 mi
Back in the 80's my cousins and I used to test ourselves on our BMX bikes by trying to climb these two "huge" hills. Sometimes we'd make it and sometimes not so much. Little did I know it was the beginning of my love of gravel riding. The two hills are still there. Not as big as I remember but when the wind is just right...you will definitely feel them. Careful at the highway crossover. A little blind to the North.

Choose your own Adventure!!! Stay on route to experience both the overlook of beautiful Kahola Lake and the climbing of Road DD. You WLL NOT regret it!!
You can skip the Road DD climbs if you wish at mile 18. Simply turn right to the north instead of left to the south. I'll warn you though you will miss out on some amazing Flint Hills views!!
