So, Osborne Celestain, director of the #Tulsa chapter of the #MajorTaylor Cycling Club of #Oklahoma, is riding a 600-mile bike tour of the #BlackTowns of Oklahoma.
Spouse is a member of the #OKC chapter and a friend of Osborne. It's been fun and inspiring -- not to mention illuminating -- to keep aware of Osborne's progress and to learn a little more about this part of Oklahoma history.
