Tour of the Wichitas
Ride in the Wichita Mountains…
The ride is scheduled in conjuction with the Musem of the Great Plains Bike Festival, Saturday, June 12, 2010 at 8:00 a.m. at the Museum of the Great Plains located at 6th and Ferris Lawton, OK. Race packets can be picked up at 7:00 am at the museum.
A beautiful ride through Ft. Sill and the Wichita Mountains. You will be leaving the Museum of the Great Plains at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and riding either 11.6, 18.5, 33, 43.5, or 50 miles through some of the most beautiful scenery in Oklahoma. We will also have a historic route by the Ft. Sill Museum and some of the most important historical properties at Ft. Sill. The longer rides will have a waterstop at the Visitors Center in the refuge. You can pause here and learn about the make upof the refuge along with what types of animals it supports. Also the location of the hiking trails and fishing lakes. From the Visitors Center you may ride back by Mt. Scott through Medicine Park, or on a breathtaking downhill that will pass the Meers Returaunt and loop around Lake Lawtonka back to Lawton. This is a smell the roses ride. Take your time, look around and enjoy!

Rode the Hills From Hell ride yesterday, and am looking forward to more rides through this beautiful part of Oklahoma. Will there be any info on the web showing the routes?
Thank you Scott for visiting the site! I am posting the map of routes, as they should be close to final. If there are any changes they will be posted.
Is there a profile of each ride? What are the longest and highest elevation changes?
I would like to make sure I’m up to the challenge before signing up.
Are there camp sites that a guy can reserve for a tent or is it first come, first served kind of thing? Does anyone happen to know?
I could use some clarification on the different mileage routes. The map and website call for 20 and 30 mile routes, but the brochure calls for 25 and 36 miles. This may seem kind of nit picky, but I am early in my training and I want to make sure I pick the route that is closest to my training schedule. Thanks.
Matt, I have stayed at Camp Doris before. It is on a first come, first served basis however. It is on the refuge, and a very nice campground. Lots of wildlife. There may be other camping in the area, but I am not that familiar with other camping sites in that area. Here is a link:

Will everyone that rides receive a shirt?
thanks Kent
So, how does one sign up for this?
Hi,
I’m thinking of doing the 20 mile ride. Is it hilly or flat?
I would like to see a better map posted. is there any way to know the route before hand? I live local and would like to have a idea before i sign up
The brochure says the routes are 25,36,50,60 and ur map says 10 20 30 50 and 60 what are the real distances and a better map that a person can read
The 20 mile bike ride is not available on bikereg.com. Is it still planned?
Just wondering if it is all hard ground or is it gravel / off-road. I have a DJ50 trail/road bike.
thank you
Just wondering if there is a better map of this ride.
I just want to make sure what the length of the routes are. The brochure and the website show different lengths. Will there be a real 20 mile. What about the elevation changes? I really need to know before we decide if we are coming Saturday or not.
The leg lengths are as follows; FT Sill Historial Ride – 11.6 miles, Tower Two Road Ride – 18.5 miles, Letra Lake Road Ride – 33 miles, Medicine Park Lake Road Ride – 43.5 miles, and Meers Route – 59 miles. All new maps will be posted to reflect each route.
Up to date are posted at this time.
