On Sunday, July 20 a couple weeks ago I took off on a bike ride on the Tulsa RiverParks. It was hot and I didn’t start until midmorning for various reasons so things got a little warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday is a big day for Tulsans to get outside and ride their bikes, run, walk, whatever on the RiverParks. The traffic is mainly on the east bank so I started out on the east bank and went up and down the west bank just to get away from people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, it was pretty busy but not overly so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was passed by almost everybody except…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

…for people standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always love going by PSO’s old Tulsa Power Station electric generating station. That sign looks really nice at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got to my predetermined turnaround point and rested a bit and drank some water and then reversed course. I always check the weather apps to see which way the wind is blowing. I don’t mind riding into the wind on the outbound leg, that way I have the wind at my back going back to my car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was one hot, thirsty, old bike rider at the end! 14 miles all told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
