TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa Tough allows some of the strongest bicyclists to show off their tenacity — biking anywhere from 40 to 100 miles, all while battling the summer heat.
People all over Green Country come to downtown Tulsa to cheer on racers.
This year, locals will also have the opportunity to help a local firefighter in the midst of a battle no one wants.
Harrison Moseby is a firefighter with the Tulsa Fire Department.He returned from Houston Sunday after having his arm, two ribs, clavicle, and shoulder removed to fight sarcoma.
