Bike to Work Day (Fri, May 18, 2012)

Fri, 18 May 2012 11:40:00 GMT

BIKE to WORK DAY in CENTRAL OKLAHOMA is MAY 18th - Get on your bikes and ride!

Rising gasoline prices, a greater emphasis on health, and growing awareness of alternate transportation modes may point to another successful Bike to Work Day. This year's official day will be celebrated throughout the Central Oklahoma region May 18. This is the eighth year of organized efforts in the metro.

The annual event is being coordinated by the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments, regional bicycle advocates, and the cities of Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Midwest City, Moore, Norman, Yukon and Edmond.

Bike to Work Day 2012 is part of a national campaign to promote bicycling as a healthy and efficient transportation alternative. The League of American Bicyclists has recognized the month of May as National Bike to Work Month since 1956, and National Bike to Work Day annually offers metropolitan areas the opportunity to call attention to the benefits of bicycling and to increase safety awareness among bicyclists and motorists.

Each community is planning separate events that include bike and t-shirt giveaways and door prizes. Bike to Work activities in Edmond, Oklahoma City, Norman, Yukon and Guthrie will occur in the morning. Moore and Midwest City are planning evening events.

METRO Transit is offering free bus rides the third Friday of every month this summer, so it will coincide with Bike to Work Day. Riding the bus on Citylink Edmond is free every week day. All transit providers, including Cleveland Area Rapid Transit in Norman, have bike racks equipped on all buses.

All participants are encouraged to follow the rules of the road and observe safety rules.

Complete details, including routes and event schedules for Central Oklahoma Bike to Work Day 2012 can be found at www.BikeDayOK.com, or on Facebook at "Bike to Work." Call John Sharp or Michael Howard at ACOG, 234-2264 for more information.

24 THE HARD WAY (Sat, October 27, 2012)

Sat, 27 Oct 2012 10:00:00 GMT

Website

REGISTER ONLINE
Registration closes on October 10, 2012.

Held at Bluff Creek in Oklahoma City, OK.

Whether you want to pound the pavement or do it in the dirt, this event is for you. Athletes will have their choice of a 24, 12 or 6-hour race on either a relatively flat asphalt trail or on a slightly technical trail equipped with dirt, rocks, roots, tree branches and depending on the weather, maybe a little mud. Both trails will be measured and that distance will be multiplied by the total number of laps a runner completes to give total mileage. Exact mileage will be posted at a later date, but it will be real near one mile.

We will also offer a competitive Live United 1-hour run on the asphalt and a 1-hour fun run on the off-road trail.

The Courses

24 THE HARD WAY: USAT&F Sanctioned and Certified course will be approximately one mile in length and run on the new asphalt trail on the west side of Bluff Creek. It is a relatively flat course with a few gentle rollers. See Video -

DOUBLE DIRTY DOZEN: This course will be approximately two-mile in length and run on the unpaved trails of Bluff Creek. This primarily singletrack trail has a lot of quick ups-and-downs and is challenging with its roots, rocks, tree branches and depending on the weather, a little water and mud. The exact distance will be published later.
