Route 66: And the Rain came

Saturday started in Tulsa, OK under sunny warm conditions, but by mid afternoon it all changed. After a visit to a Railroad, restaurant museum in Tulsa we rode a couple hours to Bristow OK. to find a sports bar to Watch Oklahoma vs Texas.
I stopped the local sheriff and ask if there was a sports bar in town and his response was "I don't know" It turned out there was only one and a great one indeed. Cokes and water again, but the owners and patrons were great. Mike was the only Texas fan in the pub.
We joked, told stories, took pictures and made promises to keep in touch and send a Bulldog flag for the brick wall, next to the Sooners flag.
A local HOG chapter showed up at halftime, so the place was covered with motorcycles and riders. More checking out the Chrome and the roar of a Harley.
As we pulled out and did a sound run by we looked to the western sky and it was black. Here comes the rain.
After a stop at the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum and a motorcycle museum we pulled over a put on the rain gear just in time. The sky opened with buckets of rain and I had my first experience of riding in the rain. Fun for the first 30 minutes, but the next hour and a half was work. Slow and cautious!
We made it to Oklahoma City and it was time to upgrade our class of hotels. We needed one with ESPN2, a bar, and restaurant . Found it all at the Hilton Gardens Inn. We are big time now.
