On-site packet pickup and registration have started! 🚴‍♀️ We'll be here at the Fort Sill Patriot Club until 7 p.m. If you're pre-registered, you can pick up your t-shirt and bib. If you want to ride tomorrow and haven't registered, we can get you signed up!

We will also have packet pickup and registration tomorrow morning before the ride starting at 6 a.m. at the Fort Sill Patriot Club.

A few things to know when coming to Fort Sill:

👉 Sheridan Gate is closed today due to a training holiday for Juneteenth. Key Gate and Fort Sill Boulevard Gate are both open today. Sheridan Gate will be open tomorrow.

👉 The Fort Sill Visitor Welcome Center is still open, and will be open for in-person visitor pass applications till 9 p.m. The center will reopen at 6 a.m. tomorrow, two hours before the ride starts at 8 a.m. Depending on how many people are at the center, it doesn't take that long to get a pass in person. If there isn't a line, it can take less than 10 minutes. If there are more people at the center, it can take 10-20 minutes. There are two self-service kiosks you plug your driver's license (must be a REAL ID) into to register for your pass. The kiosk itself takes less than 5 minutes. The Fort Sill Visitor Welcome Center is located at 6701 NW Sheridan Road, Fort Sill.

We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow for the 2026 Tour of the Wichitas!
