Welcome to OKFreeWheel on the web!

2010 will mark the 32nd running of Oklahoma's premier bicycle touring event. Plan now to join over a thousand cyclists, support staff, and family members as they gather near the Texas-Oklahoma state line for the trek north to Kansas.

We'll sample the best that small-town Oklahoma has to offer. Folks along the route share their communities with the throng of passing riders, providing food, entertainment, overnight accommodations, local history, and so much more!

Discover Oklahoma and Oklahoma Horizon Video Segments

Watch a 5-minute YouTube video produced by Shel Wagner, a producer for the Integris Discover Oklahoma travel program, and FreeWheel 2008 finisher. Husband Kurt Kaya followed along filming the entire adventure, from the time Shel got her bike until she reached the end of the ride in Caldwell, Kansas. It's a great introduction to FreeWheel.

Here's another 3-minute YouTube video produced Oklahoma Horizon television. Meet more FreeWheelers and learn why they enjoy the challenge.

Read on, and check back often, for details related to FreeWheel and related events! And, if you don't find answers to all of your questions, browse the FAQs and other sections of the web site, post a note on our forum, or contact us via email or phone.

Oklahoma FreeWheel ... it's a great adventure, please join us.

1,000 riders + dozens of small towns + lots of home cookin'
That's a recipe for Fun, Adventure, Folks and Fixin's you'll remember for years.
Join us June 13-19, 2010, and bike across the Sooner State, one friendly Oklahoma community at a time.
