Tulsa Tough grows bigger, with organizers adding a fall race, the Cyntergy Hurtland.
Picture Tulsa Tough’s short, fast criterium courses made to fit on an off-road location.
"And put barricades and obstacles where the cyclists have to dismount and run with their bicycle over a barricade and maybe cross a ditch or go through a sand pit before they even complete each loop — that's cyclocross," said Director Malcolm McCollam.
Cyntergy Hurtland’s course is designed by top-ranked American rider Jeremy Powers. The race is Nov. 21 at Owen Park.
The race will benefit the Tulsa Children’s Museum.
Tulsa Tough is teaming up with Red Bull for a one-time indoor race, too.
"They call it the world's smallest velodrome," McCollam said. "The entire track — wooden track with banked curves that are 5 feet tall — will fit inside the Cain's Ballroom."
The indoor race will be Nov. 20.
