I think it has finally happened. Xanga is no more. Sorry, old friend. 

It doesn't snow too much in Tulsa. There aren't really any beaches either. One would suppose that outdoor fun is not to be had. Wrong! Whoever this "one" is that didn't think Tulsa is full of outdoor fun didn't try Riverparks. I personally think that is the best thing going for Tulsa. The Arkansas River is traced by a path that runners and walkers, or even bikers and rollerbladers alike can have a blast on. For me, biking is my new hobby that also doubles as exercise. What's even better yet is the fact that there is a mountain biking area on this path called Turkey Moutain. Now, mind you that live next to real mountains, this is more of a glorified hill than anything, but the size of the mountain says nothing about the amount of fun there is to be had.
   My routine now consists of me biking to Turkey Mountain (>3 miles), riding the yellow trail on the mountain (>5 miles), and then either riding back home or taking a different route if I have the time (anywhere between 3 and perhaps well over 20 miles). This is good since my old routines forced me to work on my road biking/ endurance, or mountain trail riding/technical skills. This is also due to the fact that I have not made an effort to fix the van, which removed all temptation to drive my bike to Turkey Mountain. All in all, mountain biking is one of the most fun things I have ever done.
    Maybe one day I will make a short compilation video of on trail and off trail riding and show everyone how wonderful it is! Wouldn't you like that? Hopefully I will be able to make such a video without having an accident in the middle of filming it. For instance, I took a downhill trail today aptly named the "Lip Buster" due to its outrageous downhill angle and hidden jump areas. I would love to take a picture of it, but I think I can put it into perspective anyway. Imagine this, there is a road to the left of the trail that has the same angle and slope that I have ridden down before when I didn't have the confidence to take the Lip Buster trail. On the road, I've reached speeds of +45 miles per hour. I am certain because I have speedometer on my bike. So you can imagine the actual trail right next to the road being a bit exhilarating, though dangerous as heck.
     My hope is to take my skill that I found in Tulsa and take it with me no matter where I go. I'm not staying in Tulsa too much longer, so it's time to get my show (and my bike) on the road. So yeah, Tulsa is lame. They don't have sandy beaches and they don't have Niagara Falls. There isn't a decent theme park near by and there are no really great historical areas like the ones I am familiar with back on the East Coast. But there are new tricks that this old dog learned in a place as dull as Tulsa. I suppose that what I am trying to say ultimately is that you should find that special thing in your area that makes it special. Everywhere has one, even silly old Tulsa.

::EDIT::
1. When I say "Old Dog" in reference to myself, I don't want you to think that I think of myself as old. I'm just seasoned in travel, hence the old feeling.
2. The road next to the Lip Buster trail is to the left when facing uphill. When looking down the hill, the road is to the right. I know that no one gives a care, but when I reread my post, I was horrified by this ambiguity. Mercy me.

Great, I am not invited to anything. So help me, I will do something awesome today in spite of no invites. It's just kind of tough finding something fantastic to do on a day like this with no one. How sad. I'm sure this will shape out to be a fine day anyway. Cheers!
