More than 300 bicyclists arrived in Arkansas City Saturday, completing a journey that began last week in Vernon, Texas. The participants of the 42nd annual Oklahoma Freewheel cross-country bicycle trip were welcomed by representatives from Visit Ark City and the local police department Saturday morning as they crossed the finish line on West Central Avenue.
Visit Ark City CEO Pam Crain said that the riders came from all across the nation to participate in the event. She said she had visited with people from Tennessee, Wyoming, Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, South Carolina, Montana, New York, Nebraska and even several riders from England.
