Tulsa Bicycle Club annual Watermelon Ride.

July 4, Annual Watermelon Ride - In lieu of a General Meeting in July, the Tulsa Bicycle Club has gathered for years to celebrate the nation's birthday with a ride followed by consumption of copious quantities of delicious watermelon. 2008 will be no different!
Join President Richard Hall on a leisurely 12-15 mile ride followed by melon eating, seed spitting, etc. We'll gather at Tulsa's Turner Park, 3503 E 5th Pl, for ride departure at 8am. On return to the park, we'll have watermelon on the lawn ... what could be a better way to begin your 4th of July weekend!
See you there!!!

Wikham Rd - Sapulpa - The south end of Wickham Road, which runs to the west of the Sapulpa Walmart, is being rebuilt. The road has been torn out from the school south to Teel Road and is currently gravel.

Keatonville Road - This road has been closed.

Wekiwa Road bridge out near Keystone Dam - Recent heavy rains damaged a Wekiwa road bridge near 209th West Avenue. This section of Wekiwa road has been closed and the bridge will probably have to be replaced. To detour around this closed section of road you'll have to go north on the New Prue Road, which has a full width shoulder starting just north of highway 412, and take either Anderson Road or Shell Creek Road. Riding this detour in a clockwise direction is suggested, unless you're looking for a very steep climb!

Osage Prairie Trail -
Mohawk Blvd & 36th St N - The gravel base has been laid and some concrete poured to replace the section of trail that was closed between Mohawk Boulevard and 36th Street North for construction of the new freeway overpass.
North end of OSU Tulsa parking area - Gravel base has been laid for the section of trail that will be rerouted due to the construction of the Langston University building parking lot at the north end of the OSU Tulsa campus. This is the section of trail that passes through the dirt construction mess just north of the OSU Tulsa campus.

If you know of any construction on cycling routes feel free to contact Ross Snider at ross4@cox.net or 606-1519.
