Tour de Tulsa
A Tulsa Bicycle Club Tradition
2009 Tour Date - Saturday, May 2nd, 8:00 a.m. 2009 T-SHIRT PICKUP Yes, the 2009 Tour de Tulsa was rained out, but you can make arrangements to get our T-shirt if you'd like.
22nd ANNUAL TOUR
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 2, 2009,
8:00 a.m.! Day of ride registration will begin at 7am and the "Fun" ride will begin at 9am.
This is great timing for those of you training for the
Tulsa Tough and
FreeWheel!
