Tour de Tulsa

A Tulsa Bicycle Club Tradition
2010 Tour Date - Saturday, May 1st, 8:00 a.m.

23rd ANNUAL TOUR in 2010 Generic Ride Logo

The Tour de Tulsa, TdT, has been a spring cycling fixture for Tulsa-area cyclists for more than 20 years. Through incarnations as the "Graduation Ride," "T-Town Trek," and other monikers, the tour is closely associated with preparation for Freewheel and was the final FreeWheel training ride for many years. Offering several ride lengths, it serves as an introduction to larger touring events for new cyclists and for those who are a bit "rusty."

The TdT is held on the first Saturday of May each year. Mark your calendar now before you forget; Saturday, May 1, 2010, 8:00 a.m.! And come back to this site for all of the details as the date draws nearer.
