Today is the first official day of the OKFreeWheel and the ride is from Comanche, OK to Apache, OK. We stayed in Duncan, OK (10 miles from Comanche) the last two nights and since the route passed right by the hotel I just jumped on the route there. Since this is more of a touring event and not a mass ride there is no set start time, it is leave when you want. I thought 8:15 was early enough for me.
The route was nice with very little traffic but tons of rollers. I of course have not learned the art of relaxing on the bike and pretty much hammer most of the time. So I covered the 52 miles in a little over 2.5 hours with an average speed of 18.7 mph.
Now we are in the bustling metropolis of Cyril, OK (10 miles from Apache) at the AAA 5 diamond rated Huckleberry Inn.
After a nap we are going to a vineyard (who knew they had these in Oklahoma) for a wine tasting and dinner. Then back to the Huck to watch the series finale of the Sopranos.
More from Hinto tomorrow.

Duncan? D-d-did you say Duncan, Oklahoma? Family is from Duncan - great grandparents, grandmother, moms & uncles... weird.
