Biking Across Kansas 2022: Memories and Photos From Our First Year as The BAK Support Crew

Ottawa Bike And Trail was the official support crew for Biking Across Kansas (BAK) in 2022. This was our first year participating in BAK and a huge learning experience for us. 2022 was a challenging year due to the heat but it was also the first event for many after putting our lives on hold during the Covid-19 pandemic. We met had such a great time and we managed to get a few good photos for the week. I wanted to share our memories and photos here.
