The Donut Ride
It was a beautiful Spring morning when we arrived at Will Rogers park. The Ride Leader gave us some instructions, such as staying behind the fastest rider. And off we went, winding our way through lovely historic neighborhoods, including the unique "Carey Place". We arrived at Browns Bakery after riding about 6 miles, all along at a leisurely pace. It was a delight to get to meet and talk with the others in our group. After eating a donut or two, we returned back to Will Rogers park. I look forward to coming back each week to ride with our new friends.

The trail opened in 2015, and some say it is the nicest trail in OKC. There are parking lots at the 10th and Eagle lane, at Reno west of Council, at Crystal Lake (near SW 15th and MacArthur), and at SW 15th and Meridian. Click HERE for more info.

The Katy Trail in Missouri
The Katy Trail is a 237 mile (386 km) trail stretching across most of the state of Missouri. Over half of it follows Lewis and Clark's path up the Missouri River, where you can ride beneath towering river bluffs while eagles circle overhead.
After leaving the river, the trail meanders through peaceful farmland and small-town Americana.
America's longest "rails-to-trail" project, formerly the MKT rail line, is flat and scenic. It's ideal for hiking, running, or cycling on just about any kind of bike. Click HERE for more info.

The ride consists of 100-kilometer (62-mile), 40-mile and 25-mile distance. Well stocked rest stops, support on the routes, door prizes after the ride .Click HERE for more info.
