// Why riders attend

A self-contained, adults-only rally on a private grounds sitting on Old Route 66 between Oklahoma City and Tulsa — one of five events the venue hosts each year, with camping, live bands, bike games, and a laid-back mid-continent location that works as a destination or a stop on a longer summer run.

// The rally

Route 66 Bike Week takes place each June at the Route 66 Rally & Camp, a private venue at 26101 Milfay Road in Depew, Oklahoma. The rally organization was founded in 2005 and has grown to run five separate events at this same site across the calendar year, with Bike Week being the marquee summer edition. Attendance is strictly 21 and older — no exceptions.

The grounds are set up to keep riders on-site: on-site camping covers free tent spots, full RV hookups, dry RV camping, and cabin rentals, along with hot indoor and outdoor showers. Common-area amenities include a clothing-optional swimming pond with a sandy beach and water slide, a swimming pool, and an air-conditioned indoor facility. The rally program centers on live bands, bike games, people games, wild contests, and a vendor row, running rain or shine thanks to all-weather facilities.

The venue sits on Old Route 66 roughly midway between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, making it reachable on two-lane highway for riders already traveling the historic corridor. Oklahoma's mix of backroads and open plains gives arriving and departing riders options beyond the interstate. The on-site setup means you can show up, park, and not need a car for the duration.

Arbuckle Mountains — US-77
Oklahoma
North of Springer, US-77 leaves the interstate corridor and reverts to a narrow two-lane highway as it enters the Arbuckle Mountains — one of the oldest exposed mountain ranges in North America. The road was paved in the 1920s using prison labor and retains its original alignment through tight hairpin curves and wooded limestone terrain. The route provides direct access to Turner Falls Park (Oklahoma's tallest waterfall at 77 feet) and continues through Davis. Rider Magazine describes this hairpin section as a highlight of the greater Arbuckle region ride.

Cherokee Hills Byway (OK-10)
Oklahoma
Oklahoma's Cherokee Hills National Scenic Byway (designated 2009) runs 84 miles along State Highway 10 from Gore north through Tahlequah to West Siloam Springs on the Arkansas border. The southern half traces the eastern shore of Lake Tenkiller through forested Cookson Hills, while the northern stretch parallels the clear waters of the Illinois River past stone bluffs and dense Ozark foothills. OK-10 through the Tahlequah corridor is noted for long, flowing sweepers, limited sight lines around blind wooded corners, and consistent tree canopy. The Cherokee Nation capital at Tahlequah is on-route.

Glass Mountains — US-412
Oklahoma
US-412 between Orienta and Fairview in Major County traverses roughly 25 miles of selenite-capped mesas known as the Glass (or Gloss) Mountains, where crimson and black mesa walls rise abruptly from the surrounding wheat-field prairie. The gypsum and selenite crystals covering the mesa slopes reflect sunlight and create a visual signature unique in the southern plains. Gloss Mountain State Park, on a mesa just west of Orienta, provides a walk-up overlook accessible from a roadside pull-out. The highway is a long, flowing two-lane with minimal traffic and unobstructed views across northwest Oklahoma.
