I'll second what the "guest" poster said. I certainly am glad I had the directions to go off of for this ride. The north half of the loop is just a blast, with a large number of curves, and no speed limit sign in sight! The east portion of the ride is fairly standard fare for little used Oklahoma road. The bridge part of the run of it has some rather creepy roads though. By the time I got to the bridge, the kids were out playing by the river, and two rednecks were sitting at the end of the bridge with rifles. I didn't get to enjoy the bridge that much as the only real thing on my mind was getting the hell out of there. It's pretty enough of a ride though, with decent roads. Once you get on the south/west part of the ride, it's pretty much over. It's good state highway, but cleared out on each side, so you get that rolling hill scene for miles, which may or may not put you to sleep depending on the adrenaline fix you got while going through the curvy portion of the ride.

The roads are in really good shape! If you find yourself on a gravel road then you took a wrong turn. Lots of rolling hills and turns! Grab a beer at the Tibbey Barr or visit the Soggy Bottom Trails Pub if you're confident enough to ride down the 1/2 mile gravel/sand driveway (it's not that bad, lots of sand at the end though. Definitely worth it). The train bridge is definitely the highlight of this ride, along with all the overhung trees creating a natural tunnel.

We scouted this route today in the Jeep as we had never done and it had been a few years since the last review and since roads in OK (especially remote ones like this) can sometimes not be very forgiving on a bike! We will do this ride on the bike but it is worth mentioning that some of the twisties between Slaughterville and Tribbey have loose gravel on them and are unmarked. The bridge between Wanette and Byers is the highlight and as some of the previous reviewers mentioned we did stop by Sonny's just south of Purcell to eat lunch and it was very good.
