Join us for the fourth year of Border Raiders. An eight-day, four-state bicycle ride is an opportunity to test your stamina, enjoy the scenic Missouri River Valley, and ride through some of the most inspiring history our country has ever known. Tour the historic places where the border wars ignited Civil War long before the first shots were fired on Fort Sumter.

This ride will start and end in Lawrence, Kansas, and will continue through Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri before returning to Lawrence. Visit the stomping grounds of John Brown, Jim Lane and the Freestate Jayhawkers, Frank and Jesse James, Quantrill’s Raiders and the Border Ruffians. See the millionaire homes of Atchison’s railroad barons and visit the antebellum homes of Weston, Missouri.
