# Route

* The start of this route is at Tulsa Riverparks. You'll only be on the trail system for approximately 1/2 mile as you cross the pedestrian bridge into Jenks.
* Jenks, OK is a bedroom community to Tulsa and the leadout through here is a great place to get fully warmed-up for the ride.

Many routes headed west will come through this area.
* The first 7 miles is mostly flat with easy grades.
* When you get to **111th Street** you will turn west and be heading to your first climb. It's a local favorite and Strava segment called @slice[Hilton Hill](d,12566.87,13559.81). It's just over 1/2 mile (.6) with the steepest section at 9.2%. If you're riding with a group, just after the stop sign at the top of the hill is an easy @point[regroup spot](d,13571.54).
* From Hilton Hill you will ride south to Country Hills subdivision.
* If you need a section of road to do an FTP test, 
@slice[Frankoma road](d,22905.69,31861.18) is a good opportunity. It is just over 5.5 miles in length with no interruptions.
* If you finish the ride where you began there are restaurants and a Starbucks across the street. You can easily access them by following the trail south and under Riverside. Once you are on the otherside of Riverside Dr you will see the road access to this and many other great locations.

# Notes

* Once you turn from Frankoma Rd onto @slice[W. 55th](d,31925.11,32703.32) there will be more vehicle traffic in this area. You will be riding on a 4-lane section of road but you will be traveling through the on/off ramp section of Interstate 44. There are stop signs at both locations, just use extra caution as you travel through here.
