Jon Billman

This guy has done it. I can talk, but I haven't done near the pedaling this guy has done. In July's edition of Oklahoma Living, you know that free magazine that comes in your mail that no one reads, Jon has an article of his trek across the state of Oklahoma on his single speed.  He takes 6 days to cover 651 miles from New Mexico, across the panhandle and meet the Arkansas border.  Damn.  The route he chose mainly was through the Northern part of the state.  Which makes sense because he also went through the panhandle of Oklahoma.  When I was dreaming of my own route across the state I dreamed up this route which took me across the middle of the state.  It was straight and I could stop off at home at the half way point.  Billman wandered all over and plans on doing a loop through the Southern part next year.  Nuts.  I love it!

In August's subscription he has another article about a tour through the Ouachita Mountains.  I'm having some extreme biking jealousy.
