Oklahoma FreeWheel 2009

Dale Talkington sent us the following news article that reported that from Duncan, Oklahoma to Kiowa, Kansas, organizers are expecting more participants than ever to be part of the 31st annual bike touring event, June 7-13. Typically between 900 and 1,000 bikers make half or the entire trip, which this year is 416 miles through rattlesnake country and the not-so-flat terrain of western Oklahoma.

It was also reported that because of tornado devastation in Anadarko, the first stop for cyclists this eyar will be in Apache, on this Sunday. Apache is nestled at the foot of the Wichita Mountains about 19 miles north of Lawton. On the third night, Cheyenne, Oklahoma, after 65 miles of cycling, two of the riders are getting married and have invited everyone to attend.

Other stops from June 7 to June 13 include stops in the following towns. Watch out for cyclists on the following dates below in a town near you.
