Ride Start
Once on post, you will immediately see why we love riding these routes; not only will you see historic areas within Fort Sill, you will also enjoy the beauty and terrain of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. The 10 mile and 26 mile routes will remain on post; while the 40 mile and 63 mile routes will leave Fort Sill through the Twin Gates on to HWY 115 and then head north into the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, then back past Mount Scott, by the charming cobblestone town of Medicine Park before re-entering Fort Sill at the LETRA gate. Once again, your bib with your rider number is all that is need to pass through that gate.
The Friends of the Trail are very appreciative of Fort Sill leadership providing the necessary security to provide special event access to these routes for our riders. Within the Lawton Fort Sill community, cooperation is truly an action word!
We will have SAG support, but before trying to conquer all of the Wichita Mountains, please choose your ride responsibly. Be mindful of the distance and your endurance in the hot June temperatures.
We want everyone back to the finish line before 2 p.m. the day of the ride (Saturday, June 17) to enjoy the fellowship and snacks at the end of the ride.
We look forward to seeing you!
