Flint Hills Counterpoint's Musical Bike Adventure is a one-of-a-kind bicycling event through the beautiful countryside of rural Marion county Kansas. Riders have the choice of a 15 or 30-mile route. Surfaces include gravel, dirt, and some pavement (an all pavement route is available). There will be two SAG stops offering water and fruit. Both SAGs will showcase musicians and the finish line will present a concert, fireside lunch, and a walk through Flint Hills Counterpoint's land reclamation site.

The Copper Shed (SAG 01) is the turn around point for the 15-mile route. Big band renditions will be performed by the amazing 99-year old Bob Delk guitar and his nephew Steve Hanneman on keyboards (10:30-11:30). The Cooper Shed has been exhibiting unique salvage, primitive, and collectible pieces displayed in room settings throughout two buildings for over 40 years. Tours are available by owner Julie Nelson.

Historic Brooker Central Park in Marion (SAG 02) is where the 30-mile riders can choose to reverse course back to the finish line or continue on to the optional dirt route to the finish line. Live music from 11:30-12:30.

The finish line will be at Flint Hills Counterpoint Home Base, an NRCS and Wildlife and Tourism Conservation site, where a fireside lunch will be offered with live music from 11:30 - 2:00.
