## route
Also known as "The Coffee Ride," this route is a local favorite that circumnavigates Lake McMurtry, situated approximately 10 miles northwest of Stillwater. On route are entrances to both the East- and West- side recereation areas of Lake McMurtry, which both feature mountain bike trails, fishing dock, tent camping sites, and lake access. 
___
The route is favored among mountain bike riders who wish to incorporate a little endurance training into their ride by pedaling rather than driving out to the lake, as well as those riders who want to cool down by  (or in) the water mid-ride. It's also a favorite mini bikepacking course: for its easy distance from town when the need for a last-minute campout arises, and for its easy access to singletrack when an adventure rig requires a shakedown ride.
___	
    
  When dry, conditions around the lake can be sandy; when wet, they can be downright messy. In other words, this course is fat tire friendly, so don't hestitate to get wide with it. 
  On the far side of the lake you'll encounter some punchy, @photo[potentially washed out climbs](2931101), but for the most part the route is comprised of long moderate inclines and declines, helpful for working on building and maintaining speed or for enjoying a casual spin around the lake. 
  
**Wildlife sightings - deer, coyotes, wild turkey, and even the rare bobcat - are common along the route, especially in early morning hours.**

## Points of interest:
* Mile 11.6, @poi[East Side Recreation Area entrance](4703006); mile 23.2, @poi[West Side Recreation Area entrance](4703007); both sides of the park have restrooms and water available during the on-season.
* At mile 30.7, the route passes behind the @poi[Oklahoma State University Botanical Gardens](4703008). Access to the gardens is on route, but no bike riding through the gardens is allowed. Bike racks provided. 
* Miles @slice[1-2 and 32-33](d,1673.14,3404.99) wind you through @photo[Oklahoma State University campus](2931165). Stay alert.
