Subject: RE: Moving to Tulsa Welcome to Tulsa.
You will definitely want to get in contact with the Tulsa Area Triathlete club. Good group of people. They have group swims in a 50 mtr pool on Thursdays, and open waters swims on Monday, Summer time. Wednesday night there is a large group ride - this is open to all bikers. Plenty of other bike rides, throughout the week. Though Oklahoma does get some bad press for health there is a very large group of active people here. There are several gyms that have indoor pools, St. Johns, Health Zone, Gold's, Aspen, and of course the YMCA and YWCAs.
Being an East Coast transplant - Tulsa is a great place to live. People are super friendly and the climate is good enought to get outside most of the year. Yeah it does snow but it does not last much more than a couple of days. Summer time highs can get into the 100's but normally mid 90's. Winter avg daytime highs mid 40's. Granted you have heard of Tornadoes. They do exist. I have been here 20 plus years and have not seen one though.
The city is easy to get around, traffic is never an issue.
Tulsa is a great place, just get out and experience it. |
