Hey RDV4ROUBAIX isn't this your old stomping grounds? You ever do this? Looks like a blast
Almanzo 100
Similar to the mantra in the book “Fight Club,” the first three rules for the Almanzo 100 race are: You are on your own; You are on your own; You are on your own!

Yep, that's one epic race! I've done the 09 and 10 versions, also sponsored the race. There are a few other gravel races that are all tied together with Almanzo called the AGRS (Almanzo Gravel Road Series: Race for the Cup)

Ragnarok 105 - 04.09.11
Almanzo 100 - 05.14.11
Royal 162 - 05.14.11
Westside Dirty Benjamin - 06.11.11
The Gentlemen's Ride - 09.24.11
Heck of the North - 10.01.11
Dirt Bag - 10.29.11

I really miss Minnesota as far as gravel road riding and racing goes, Denver kinda sucks, they pave everything here, don't miss the winters at all though.
