Today we visited the other city I researched for this trip, Tulsa, the second largest city in Oklahoma, home of the Tulsa race riot, and a city known as the Buckle of the Bible belt. Today was another short biking day (only 60+ miles!), sunny, and relatively flat riding on historic Route 66. I got a late start to the ride day after helping Kristi with some chain problems and spent the majority of the day riding at a good clip with Sophie who also hung back to help. Right before lunch we caught up with Amol, and he sealed the deal on securing group burritos from Taco Tico.
After holding a steady 19mph with Sophie post lunch, we arrived in Tulsa shortly afterwards. After going for a 20 minute jog with a few riders in preparation for the local triathalon when I return, we showered at a local Y and enjoyed one of the best prepared dinners at the church we were staying at.
Today also marks the halfway point of our trip geographically, and there is only a month until I return to normal life.
