Backroads Touring Kansas

Welcome to Backroads Touring - Kansas! This site and organization was established in June of 2001. We ride to places rarely seen by motorists. There are over 100,000 miles of secondary and unpaved roads throughout Kansas, and many run through pristine ranch and hill country. These are the roads and places we will explore and chronicle on this site. It is not unusual to ride fifty miles or more without encountering a single motorist, and the solitude permits us many opportunities to stop and enjoy some impressive views.

* We consider ourselves most fortunate to have access to the tallgrass prairie and other unique areas of Kansas, and are committed to leaving those areas just as we found them. To those folks who live where we travel to .... we are pledged to "tread softly and leave nothing behind". As a group, we only ride public access roads and do not ride on private roads without permission. When we cross unfenced open rangeland via public roads, we will remain on the roadbed so as to not cause possible damage to the prairie or raise the ire of landowners. We will also take precaution to not "spook" roaming herds of livestock when riding through open range areas.

Care to join us on a ride? Simply visit our bulletin board, watch for upcoming events, and then show-up at a ride rendezvous. It costs nothing beyond fuel and time to be a member of this group.
