OK rural roads are rough. Just ask my back. Although OK 1 (that the picture is of that you commented on) was decent. You'll be able to ride that as fast as traffic allows. One section had one lane closed with no flagmen. A sign said, "One lane-Watch for oncoming traffic." Nice...

Right outside OKC east of town and a bit south are major hills. Straight rural roads that have potholes rough patched pavement and tar snakes. You'll crest a hill then loose your stomach as the road drops out from under you laughing and carrying on until you have to dodge all the stuff mentioned above as you descend to the bottom and start the wind up to the next crest! Dang. The first 25 miles leaving OKC was fun. Hang on though. I didn't encounter small mountains until I got closer to Lake Eufaula (one of the top ten Crappie lakes in North America too).



Texas' FM roads are the worst I have ever ridden on and the one I was on was paved. Finding myself airborne most of the time on FM2491 I slowed down to about 45.

Somewhere between OKC and Lake Eufaula on Oklahoma 9 (At a length of 350 miles, OK 9 is the 2nd longest state highway in Oklahoma).
