The annual eight-day bicycle tour of Kansas is underway and will be rolling into the area this weekend. 

According to the Biking Across Kansas website, the routes change each year. Since the start of the annual ride in 1975, nearly every corner of the state has been visited by cyclists. This year bicyclists are traveling along the northern part of the state. Bikers began on June 4th and will be traveling from Marysville to Sabetha on Thursday, to Troy on Friday and from there to Elwood on Saturday. 

The trek covers about 500 miles this year.
