Written Directions

Start 4 miles south of Noble Ok on Highway 77 and Slaughterville Rd. Turn east go 18 miles to Highway 102/Tribbey Ok. Turn south on Hwy 102 go appx 9 miles Wanette Ok, go though town to the end of the road. Turn west this should be Earl street, go 5-6 blocks and the road will curve south, you are now on Railroad Bridge Road. Turn west on 130th go 2 blocks, turn south on Johnsonville rd continue to Byars Ok. Turn west on Highway 59 to Wayne Ok. Turn North on Highway 77 and this will take you back to Noble Ok.

Scenery

This route will take you over rolling hills with lots of curves no stop signs with the exception of major intersections. Lots of hills with some sharply weaving areas on the road near Tribbey, heading south the road has sweeping curves and the portion just past Wanette the trees provide a full canopy. The portion between Wanette and Byars Okla the trees make you feel like you are in a tunnel and then you come upon an old railroad bridge. The highlight is this bridge that goes over the South Canadian River between Wanette and Byars Ok. It was converted for vehicles that stretches all the way across the South Canadian River. The bridge is long and narrow it was converted from a railroad. Built in 1902. The trees make a canopy south of Wanette.Very unusual for around here. Highway 59 takes you back through open fields mostly straight and flat wide open area. The remaining drive is open country. The ride was beautiful.

Drive Enjoyment

pavement is great. The route has equal portions of hills curves and flat areas. Overall good roads where you will find sharp curves, sweeping curves, hills and flat areas on this route.

Tourism Opportunities

The railroad bridge crossing the south canadian river is where we stopped to stretch. Had to drive over it a couple. loved it. Great Chicken Fry restaurant on hwy 77 before you get to Purcell, always crowded.

THIS IS A GREAT RIDE!!! Roads are very good for Oklahoma. I definitely suggest to anyone, to take a copy of the map/directions from this site with you. If you don't; no worry's though,the people you'll see along the way,will be glad to point you in the right direction,if needed! Don't pass up on the rest stop at GIGI's in Byars for a rest,snack,cold drink, and to pet the big friendly dog on the front porch! He is very biker friendly! The road to the bridge may have you wondering at first if you have made a wrong turn! and yes you may even think that you are hearing banjo music, and Ned Beatty "Squealing Like A Pig!" in the background! Never Fear, This is just good ole undisturbed, country Oklahoma! The scenery on Railroad Bridge Road is Awesome! The Railroad Bridge is Super Cool! I will definitely take myself, and my biker friend on this ride again soon! Oh Yeah, and at the end in Purcell,You've got to stop and eat at Sonny's Cafe, Biker Friendly,Right on the Hi-way,Great Food,Very Friendly Staff! Keep The Rubber Side Down & The Wind In Your Hair!--McClintock

took the little woman down from Perry and went for the ride... not a bad ride. the road between Slaughtervill and Tribby was pretty twisty. No warning on the curves (no signs) so take it easy, good scenery, got chased by some kids on 4 wheelers near the railroad bridge, kind of funny.
Stop at Sonny's Cafe at the south end of Purcell. arrive hungry
