Obviously we had a warm fall in 2016. Because of that, we decided to go ride our bikes in a new state on our day off after Thanksgiving. Our Black Friday deal was on Fresh Air! We wanted to check off Oklahoma on our quest to ride our bikes in all 50 states so we looked and found a rail trail that started in the north in Skiatook and traveled south to the northern edge of Tulsa, called the Osage Prairie Trail (Link).
At the trailhead where we parked and began our ride.
Found the Trail Sign!
Cool play on a Rail Road sign! (Also, assuredly NOT Osage County, Kansas, to be sure. ~~H)
Long Flat sections you often find on Rail Trails (But at least it's paved ~~H)
Small town of Sperry that we passed through.
Proof we made it down to Tulsa!
This was a very flat trail with lots of asphalt which sometimes can be rougher than a gravel trail. There were some older sections of this trail near Tulsa that could use some work. Another thing you discover when you ride rail trails into bigger cities like Tulsa, the tracks generally went through some of the lower income parts of town and there were parts that we didn't feel real comfortable in. All in all, though, a very easy 30 mile ride that I would do again...S
