Over memorial day weekend we went for a bike ride on the bike paths in Bixby!

Nick is training for an upcoming race and we are too slow for him…

train

He ran, we rode.

It was actually pretty nice.

The trail starts in Bentley Park and continues to become the Bixby Fry Creek Trail for 2 miles.

In total you can get around 9 miles round trip if you go end to end.

I did figure out that I am not used to sitting on a bike for that long.

Ouch…

This really is a very pretty trail.

It is less crowded than the riverside trails as well.

I like that for the boys.

park

I am always nervous they are going to run into someone on riverside.

Do you ride bikes as a family?

Do you have a favorite path in the Tulsa area?

I found the Prague Lake Trail on bestoklahomatrails.com.

They have a really nice list of trails!

I have used them before but it seems like I forget about them a lot!

This is an 8 mile loop mostly around the lake.

We started out on the smaller loop across the road and then continued to the one around the lake.

In total our hike was 8.1 miles.

You can view the route we took on Endomondo, here.

It shows a map of where the trail was.

There are a lot of off shoot trails as well.

The other entrance is by the horse corrals near where you park.

trail

Some of the path was open and some was really close with a lot of wading through tall grass.

Taking an opportunity to cool off.

It was hot!

My brain thought 90’s was cool because of the 100’s the week before…

uphill

I did figure out that 90’s was still really hot though.

tall

I am shocked we did not get any ticks!

I would recommend doing this trail in the cooler weather when you did not have to worry about them.

I am guessing that this is for horses?

lake

Pretty lake!

end

It was a nice trail and not very far away!

I would not mind doing this one again in November or December!
