RideOK Urban Assault is ON!
Phil Templeton and myself (James Pratt) recently completed laying out the route for the latest installment of the Ride Oklahoma Urban Assault dual sport ride. You will either need a GPS or team up with someone who has a GPS. This ride is like a treasure hunt – you will need to navigate via back alleys, empty lots and other means to GPS waypoints. When there you will read a clue sheet for each point, and your team will need to figure out the answer to each clue. Write the answer down and we all meet up at the end for a big party and will compare notes and scores.
I have posted several GPS waypoint files. They should all be identical but in different formats. Download these waypoints and import them into your GPS. Right click on the link below and choose “save target as”.
Garmin GDB Version 3
Garmin GDB Version 2
Garmin GPX interchange file (for most non-Garmin GPS systems)
Google Earth KML file
Garmin MPS file (not sure what this file format is for, but Garmin had it as an option)
Text file (plain old text file, worst case you can type this in your GPS)
Below is the clue sheet. Download and print it for your ride:

I’ve been out of the loop for the past week so please excuse my tardiness. I had originally stated that I would like to attend the next urban assault but unfortunately I will be flying out tomorrow for some out of state work related training. Sorry about the late pull out but definitely keep my name in the pool for the next assault.
