High Gear Cyclery: Emporia Area Trails and Riding Routes.
Camp Alexander Trails
(Link to Trail Location)
These trails are located within riding distance of Emporia just 2 miles East on Old Hwy. 50 to Camp Alexander.  This 4 mile trail is easy to moderate in skill level from twisty single track to open double track but will challenge even the most physically fit rider.  Within a mile ride from here is the Camp Alexander Pioneer Trail. 

 

Camp Alexander Pioneer Trail
These trails are also located within riding distance of Emporia just 2 miles East on Old, Old Hwy. 50. You will see a red gate on the north side of the road before you cross the Neosho River.  This trail system is made up of two short loops both easy in skill level.  The outer loop is newer single track with a few challenging parts.  The inner loop is flat twisty double track that takes you through an old train box car.  These are ideal trails for beginners to learn the basic off-road skills. (Pictures Below) 
 

College Trails
These trails are located just North of the ESU Campus and I-35.  These are Emporia's oldest single track trails and consist of a network of winding trails that run next to the Neosho River.
  The riding ability is easy to moderate but still fun for an expert rider to rip through.

Flint Hills and Gravel Roads
We admit Emporia lacks good paved roads to ride but we definitely make up for it with our endless gravel roads.  How fun is it to ride gravel roads?  Well it must be pretty darn fun, because the Flint Hills just outside of Emporia is home to three gravel road rides each year.  The Flint Hills Death Ride, the Dirty Kanza 200, and the Freedom Ride.  People from all over the nation come to ride these wonderful and scenic gravel roads in our own backyard.  If your lucky enough to live in the Emporia Area you can ride these roads daily.  Stop by the shop for advice on what roads to explore, or we can arrange a tour guide.
