The rural roads surrounding Stillwater, OK, offer virtually limitless potential for gravel cycling. Mile after mile of gravel roads ranging from smooth, hard packed dirt to rutted, gnarly mud reveal themselves to the growing community of cyclists who venture out to explore the beautiful country surrounding Stillwater.

Every year, the weather has been a defining characteristic of the event. When rain falls on Oklahoma red dirt, the roads become unforgiving and, in some cases, unrideable. Stories of ruined derailleurs and miles-long sections of hike-a-bike through "peanut butter mud" that can swallow a shoe have become staples of the experience. But even when Oklahoma gravel is hard-packed, dusty, and fast - as it is most of the year - losing yourself on these country roads can evoke strength, grit, and resolve that you never knew you possessed. The spirit of The Mid South is found in the will to redefine what is possible.
