300 MILES / SELF-SUPPORTED / NO ENTRY FEE

2nd ANNUAL GRAND DEPART NOVEMBER 1st, 2025.

MEGA LORE

This route was originally inspired from a passing comment from Dave Easley. In the summer of 2022 Dave was attempting a back to back ride of the 5 most recent Mid South 100 courses. Josh McCullock joined Dave for a bit of one of those rides and at some point in exhausted delirium, Dave mentioned linking together the outer perimeter of all the historical Mid South courses. The idea was planted, and over the next 2 years The Mid South didn’t let it go.

With help from Dr. Seth Wood and our friends at Ride with GPS, the course was cobbled together. All that was left was to ground truth the route. That process resulted in a 5 part documentary series you can watch below.

Once the route was finessed, we invited the community to come ride it!

The inaugural grand depart of this route happened on Sept 18th 2024, with the estimated completion coinciding with The Mid South 2025 registration party. The morning held great anticipation with 140 riders aboard their rigs for takeoff. The Oklahoma landscape held a bevy of challenges for these riders including high temps of 108 degrees, stifling humidity and even a deadly overnight thunder storm.

In the end, only 40 riders completed the 300 mile route earning them a hallowed place in the lore of Mega Mid South. We speak their names with reverence.
