Bike

Wednesday Night Rides start on March 14, 2012, the first Wednesday after Daylight Savings Time begins on March 11!

According to the US Naval Observatory, Tulsa Sunset will be 7:32 CDT that night, with civil twilight ending at 7:56–a great day to get a two-hour ride in if you start early! For what it’s worth: The moon will be in its last quarter, rising at 1:55 am.

Bike……Anyone can do it! BUT to there’s always room to improve.
Ride Safe. Ride Often.
