Anytime! This route utilizes open roads. The route starts and ends from District Bicycles in downtown Stillwater so if you depart or return during business hours, we'll be sure to celebrate ya! If you complete the inaugural run on 9/18/24 you'll earn guaranteed entry to Mid South 2025!

Since the route utilizes our historical halfway point towns from past Mid South routes, there are C stores available roughly every 50 miles.
-
Using the Bikepacking .com difficulty rubric, we rate this route 6 of 10. With the relatively available resupply and camping placed along the loop, and approximately 55 ft of climbing per mile. Weather and road conditions will drastically affect this rating. If there is any rain in the forecast, much of the western side of the route will be impassable mud.
-
With downtown Stillwater under construction, our overnight parking is limited. We have approval from the City of Stillwater for Mega riders to park at Couch Park and Strickland Park while out on course. *Please leave the parking directly in front of the play areas open for daily use.
-
See the route on Ride with GPS for the camping details. If these distances don't suit your approach to the route, we suggest utilizing motels, Hipcamp or wild camping where appropriate.
Our camping areas utilize honor boxes for payment. Please be honest a bring a few dollars cash for each night you plan to camp. Liberty Lake near Guthrie has waved the tents per site limit for the night of 9/18, allowing Mega riders to share space. Make a friend, enjoy your neighbors and please respect the resource.
-
No support crews allowed.
If you need picked up from the route for any reason you must have your own bailout plan or SAG pickup.
No support, SAG, or pickups will be provided by The Mid South or District Bicycles.
-
Mega will be on Trackleaders! Riders can sign up here.
-
As with any Mid South route, these roads are ever changing. The route is 99.9% unpaved and the dirt will change with the weather conditions. We recommend a tire of at least 38mm setup tubeless. Our crew at District Bicycles will be able to get you dialed and suggest the right gear to give you the best chance to complete the route comfortably.
Don't underestimate your need for water. It's been a hot, hot summer here in OK and these roads will dry you out!
