The Who, What, Where and Why of Wyco

***Updated 10/15/12***

Welcome to the 1st Annual Wyco's Revenge Mountain Bike Race.  Come challenge yourself to the full Wyco's Revenge or the lesser Wyco's Sprint and enjoy a fabulous evening riding into the night on on what is quickly becoming "Kansas City's Best Kept Secret".  Finishers of the full Wyco's Revenge will receive our special coveted finishing awards - Christopher Locke Jr.

What is it?: The Wyco’s Revenge is a timed mountain bike event held on off-road single track trails. The event will challenge participants both physically and mentally. The event will start at 5:00 pm.  The final laps of the Wyco’s Revenge will require lights. Participants will complete 4 laps (32 miles total).  The Wyco’s Sprint is a timed mountain bike event held on the same course with participants completing 1 lap. No lights are required for the Wyco Sprint.

Where is it?: The Wyco’s Revenge will be held on the awesome single track trails of Wyandotte Country Lake Park. Located in Kansas City, KS on the bluffs of the Missouri River.

Why do it?: Fall just may be the best time to ride mountain bikes. We created the Wyco’s Revenge to enjoy the wonderful trails of “Wyco” during the fall season and help raise money for the future. Our event will be held annually to help fund the Wyco Lake Park Trails Project and other special projects like the Cow Town Cycling Teams Junior Team. One of our goals is to increase cycling participation for young riders. We offer a special Junior/High School division in both the Wyco’s Revenge and Wyco’s Sprint classes.

Wyco's Revenge Course Map

Cliff sends us the first version of our course.  As you can see, new trails are being added and we look to have a course around 6.5 miles. 


Looking forward to the day that we have over 20 miles out at Wyco.  And that is the reason we are holding the Wyco's Revenge - raising the needed money to make it happen.
