# 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 @slice[first 7 miles](d,0,11342.36) is mostly flat with easy grades.

* When you get to 111th Street you turn west and will be heading to your first climb. It's a local favorite and Strava segment called @slice[Hilton Hill](d,12526.07,13519.01). 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,13522.12).

* From Hilton Hill you will ride south and across Hwy 117 (AKA 121st Street).

* You will continue on S. 49th W. Ave to @slice[ALT 75. There is plenty of shoulder](d,22264.9,23149.35) here and you are only on this section for approximately 1/2 mile where you will turn on S 97th W. Ave.

* Following the route for the next 15 miles will bring you back to ALT 75. You will turn south for one mile and pass the only @poi[pit stop](5373932)  on the route. If you need it, use it!

* Head east for three miles crossing Hwy 75. Be careful and see below.

* From Hwy 75 you will have 13 miles left. Stop at @poi[Riverwalk Jenks](5373936) and enjoy a meal at any of the restaraunts... Burnco, Los Cabos, Andolinis, just to name a few.
