For years now I have participated in these OBS camping biking
weekends, and thought I let you know about the last two for the year.
One is right here near Tulsa, the other at Lake Eufaula.

Maybe I will see you there?

OBS Campout Weekends
Fall Fling (October 6) features one of the flattest 60 mile routes for
a weekend ride that we've ever had.  We will be camping at Lake
Keystone, at Lake Country Campground.
There will also be the option of driving 10 miles to Sand Springs and
making it a 40 mile route or driving even further to one of the Tulsa
City River trail parking areas for an even shorter ride. Jenks is our
destination for lunch and a possible visit to the Oklahoma Aquarium.
The cost is $13.95 per adult ($2.00 less for seniors) and it is open
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Maps will be handed out Saturday morning.
Sunday's ride to Sapulpa for brunch is a more challenging 40 – 45 mile
route. Both rides will start at 9:00 a.m. at Keystone State Park in
the Lake Country camping area.


Tour de Trees is the weekend of October 20th at Dogwood Drive
Campground in Eufaula State Park.
Exit 259 off I-40 to Hwy 150, go south 3 ¾ miles. The campground is on
the west side of the road. Route distance
is 62 miles and there is a hilly 50 mile cutoff or you can ride out
and back as far as you wish. Maps will be handed out prior to the 9:00
a.m. start. Sunday's plan will be a ride to Checotah for brunch.

There are several ways to approach an OBS campout weekend. Many will
arrive on Friday night, set up camp and either cook dinner at camp or
drive to an area restaurant. Some will arrive on Saturday morning for
the ride and set up camp for just one night or may drive home that
evening. But no one wants to miss the world famous OBS Saturday night
Pot Luck extravaganza. Bring a dish to share and see what delectable
treats are in store for your dining pleasure. A camp chair, your own
plates, silverware and beverage will add to your comfort. Since we
don't have a pavilion arranged for these two events, please bring a
portable table if you have one.
A ride to brunch on Sunday morning is a great way to end the weekend.
If camping doesn't sound fun to you, there are area hotels in Eufaula
and Keystone offers 22 cabin units (918-865-4991).
You won't want to miss out on all the fun. Enjoy fall in Oklahoma!
