I finally made it to Oklahoma! I’m sorry for everything I’ve ever said about the Memphis heat because Oklahoma is the hottest place I’ve ever experienced. It’s like putting a hair dryer in your mouth. BUT, it’s one of the coolest places I’ve ever ridden. I hit a few old bridges and then onto the straight roads of Oklahoma.
The roads were hard packed gravel, which you could fly over. I was averaging 60-70 mph and felt very comfortable. The oil company’s have done a really nice job maintaining theses roads. 
I ended in Newkirk, OK and was finally able to get my hands on a cold beer. I’m in desperate need of a new rear tire (could only get my hands on a TKC80) and found a place in Ponca City, OK that could get one in by the 12th. Hopefully I’ll be on the road by the afternoon.
