Last Friday I loaded up my bike and took it to Tulsa’s RiverParks trails. The light wind was out of the north so I started on the south end at 71st street so I would have the wind at my back on the return leg of my ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG-0508-A\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had my action camera attached to the handlebars set to take a photo every three seconds and off I went. I was feeling strong so I went across the 71st bridge to take the long uphill ride to Turkey Mountain. It’s a gradual slope but still I had been putting it off. It went well though, me and my knee felt strong even though pretty slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG-0163-A\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I went by the lower parking lot at Turkey Mountain. We’ve had a couple of serious crimes lately at Turkey Mountain. A stabbing and a rape so everybody is on edge. The RiverParks Authority was having extra cameras installed as I went by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It was amazing the number of people I encountered on the trail. Strange for a week day except is Friday really a weekday any longer? Above is a fraction of the bicyclists I encountered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Walkers and Runners galore. I love the lady with the cane. After my surgery I did lots of walking with my walker and later my cane. I should have attached an action to cam to it!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I was astounded by the number of people talking their babies for a stroll. Tons of baby strolling moms and pops trail warriors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG-1073-A\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I pulled one photo out of the collage. Here are four strollers in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

And dog walkers everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG-0845-A\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And people standing in the trail yakking. Move off to the side folks, you are messing up my Strava segment times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG-0826-A\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And people off by themselves, just pondering the view, taking photos, talking on the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG-0664-A\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I crossed the river four times on my ride. Once on the 71st bridge to start, the bridge above, which call the 11th street bridge, and the Williams Crossings pedestrian bridge twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG_3781\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Several people fishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG-0485-A\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The construction crews keeping the trails in good shape while bicyclists whiz past them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

A couple kayakers were out that morning. I’ve kayaked once on the river last year. I’ll be doing it again in the next several weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

All in all a good ride!! Pretty slow but hey I had a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
