The Mid South

Get ready to experience 100 beautiful miles of central Oklahoma most people will never see. You’re in the Cross Timbers eco region, one of 12 distinct regions of Oklahoma. You get to spend a day descending and then crawling out of the countless contours that make this area special. We’ll be riding through the tribal lands of the Osage, Quapaw, Kickapoo, Wichita and Kiowa nations and weaving your way through Postoak and Blackjack Oak forests. These resilient, scrubby trees cling to massive sandstone ledges that will often be exposed by the sunken and shaded roadbed.

You’ll also see countless Eastern Red Cedar, a species that has become dominant in the area with the elimination of natural of prairie fire.
