5fer Thursday July 29^th recap

          Warm temperatures and high humidity brought sixty-three cyclists to Side Cut Park last night for TAB’s 5fer Thursday Ride.

          Thank you to James Mazey for leading the Hot 1 group. He reported a riding average speed of 24.1 mph

          Tim Eckel led the Hot 2 group and came back with an average of 22.3 mph

          Doug Kilpatrick and his Extra Spicy Riders returned with an average of  

21.0 mph.

          The Spicy Plus Riders rolled out with Tim Prand as leader and returned with a 19.0 mph average.

          Jodie Petcoff led the Spicy Riders to a 16.7 mph average.

          John Galdeen, leader of the GLR(Good Looking Riders) reported                14.2 mph.

          Pictured is Pete Piraino with his vintage 1983 Peugeot. Notice the down tube shifters!

          After the ride, instead of immediately leaving for home, many riders stayed in the park for camaraderie with fellow cyclists.

          For roughly twenty years TAB’s 5fer Thursday Ride has been one of TAB’s premier rides drawing large numbers of cyclists for a fun evening of riding. Let’s hope it continues for another twenty! Its next chapter will roll out once again next Thursday, August 5^th, at 6:30 pm. Perhaps I’ll see you then.
