Posted on September 3, 2015 by ehurst

Random shots from different rides. (Click to see a larger view of the photos.) Central Oklahoma isn’t merely a matter of some arbitrary boundaries, but is actually a transition point between different types of terrain. In this first image, looking … Continue reading →

Cycling: Exploring between Harrah and McLoud

Posted on August 20, 2015 by ehurst

This was not intended as a full workout so much as just poking around areas I’d not seen before. To be honest, it’s not as if I really missed that much. I spent more time calming nervous yard dogs than … Continue reading →

Cycling Draper Again

Posted on August 18, 2015 by ehurst

Nothing remarkable except that for late August it was refreshingly cool and cloudy today. I rode out on Henney to SE 59th just for the fun of climbing one long hill west-bound where the road humps over I-40. I headed … Continue reading →

Cycling Odds and Ends

Posted on August 16, 2015 by ehurst

Yesterday’s ride was unremarkable for the most part. I was still very tired from the long ride to Shawnee Twin Lakes, so I didn’t push. I headed north on Henney up to Jones and then wandered around the North Canadian … Continue reading →

Just a few photos today, the only thing that made this worthy of a post was the distance — a new record for me at 37 miles (59.5 km). This began pretty much like the Casino Loop. I headed out … Continue reading →

Photolog 16: Thunderbird Lake

Posted on August 11, 2015 by ehurst

This time I wasn’t going to accept failure. After using Google Street View as a sort of recon, I decided to take a different approach in case the washouts weren’t all fixed. Today’s ride began like the Brutal Loop, heading … Continue reading →

Photolog: Settling a Mystery

Posted on August 6, 2015 by ehurst

For a very long time, the maps all showed the snaking road along the flood bank of the North Canadian River connecting NE 63rd and Indian Meridian as private land and no thoroughfare. Then, a couple of years ago, the … Continue reading →

Cycling: Casino Loop

Posted on July 28, 2015 by ehurst

Today I pushed the envelope again. The planned route was 35 miles and took me out around the Firelake Grand Casino. I started from Henney, down to SE 44th, where I once again crossed that rare wooden bridge still standing. … Continue reading →
