You're on what is locally called Ozark Trail - it's part of a training route I ride somewhat regularly, I recognized the picture. The drive-in movie venue is just a couple of miles down the road.
2 hours agoI rode through Jenks and Tulsa yesterday. Or maybe I floated through.
I’m also a geologist. 25 years at Phillips Petroleum, then 10 more years at a couple smaller companies.
Frank said he has a Rohloff hub with a chain in a chain guard.
2 hours agoDang - I'm mad at myself because I just now discovered your journal - although I haven't read past this point yet, I can see from the Table of Contents that you have already passed through Tulsa - I would have ridden out to greet you at least. Actually, assuming you kept to the plan and cycled through Jenks, you probably passed within a block of my home! Oh well - now that I've discovered it I will try to rapidly catch up with your trip. FWIW, with regard to this picture in Erick - I spent the summer of 1977 in Erick as a geologist assigned to a drill crew doing exploration of the salt deposits on the Red River. Goof memories mostly.

3 hours agoYour perseverance through thunder, lightning and rain is more that impressive! I sure wish you better weather for the remainder of your tour. I would hate for you to have to shorten it as I am so enjoying reading your journal.

Well, this was a fun day for me to read about - there were so many photos of places I have been and still go, it would have gotten old if I commented on them all. I crossed the Arkansas river bridge every day 2017-2020 as I commuted by bicycle to work at the Citiplex building (the 3 towers just a couple of blocks east of the casino on the river you cycled past) - Tom's is a great bike shop - I've been to the coffee shop and brewery you stopped at. Most of all, I can't believe you cycled through that crazy weather - it was raining cats and dogs! Tulsa's trail system is fairly extensive - you can ride from downtown to Sand Springs, or south to Jenks and then east to Broken Arrow - you can actually do a century ride on the trails if you go out and back. I'm enjoying following along on your journey.
