Bike5784 Update for November 11, 2023

November 11, 2023 (still running very late in posting these, but better than late never)

This is a #Bike5784 update, my project to #bike or #Ebike at least 4200 miles (the length of the TransAmerica bike route) in the Jewish year of 5784. Click here to read more about this.

Today’s mileage: 32.61 – today in #OKC, #Oklahoma
JYTD ¹ Mileage: 472.70
Where I am at on my imaginary ride of the TransAmerica Bike route: between Damascus and Honaker. Virginia (rough route map)

Summary: A fun but cold ride. First south on Rockwell past Northwest Expressway, then connecting with the trail system by Wiley Post airport, then west and south down to Lake Overholser, then south along the east side of the lake past the dam, and then continuing on the trail system now eastward to Meridian Blvd.

I then rode to a nearby hotel to attend the OKC Peace Festival, before heading back down to trails. I then road east to connect with the Grand Blvd trail, then over the freeway on a very crazy street pedestrian bridge, then through some parks, more trails and residential areas until I finally reached the gym at US Grant High School to attend the OKCPS Pow wow.
