Sooner State Valkyrie Riders

By:Ronnie Evans(lastdragon)

I took a fall ride to Mt. Scott through Red Rock Canyon yesterday (10-21-04) I left Yukon around 9:00 as the fog was lifting and traveled west on old highway 66 to El Reno. There I took Highway 81 south for about a mile where up ahead the road was covered with fresh oil where they were doing construction. I did a U and went back to El Reno and continued on old 66 west until it met I-40 then continued west to the Hinton exit, where I went south on 281 to Red Rock Canyon State Park.

The leaves were just turning, what a beautiful ride through the canyon. I left the park after a brief stay and needed a rest stop. I continued south on 281 through Lookeba and Binger to Anadarko, wher I fueled up. (Since it was Thursday morning I had the road pretty much to myself – nice being retired) After fueling up I continued south on 281 through Apache and Richards Spur to the Medicine park entrance. After a trip through Medicine park I drove up Mt. Scott. What a beautiful ride this time of the year. The shoemack? plants on the side of the road were fire red and the view was fantastic.

I believe I was in 3rd gear as I started up and it was doing good so I shifted to 4th, I couldn’t believe it was pulling so good so I tried 5th – I couldn’t believe it would pull the hill in 5th, but no problem – what a power house. At the top I took in the view and took a few pictures and had a guy take one of me and the bike. The ride back home was following much the same route arriving home around 4:30. What a relaxing and fantastic day.
