5fer Thursday Ride August 5th recap

          Great weather brought sixty-seven cyclists to Side Cut Park Thursday evening for the 5fer Thursday Ride.

          Jim Mazey led the Hot 1 group and reported an average of 24.1 mph. Thank you for leading.

          Tim Eckel reported an average of 22.3 mph for his two-rider Hot 2 group.

          Doug Kilpatrick and his Extra Spicy riders rode to a 21.1 mph average.

          Rick Metcalf(substituting for Tim Prand who is on vacation) led the Spicy Plus group and reported 18.4 mph. Thank you Rick.

          Jodie Petcoff reported an average of 16,7 mph for her Spicy Riders.

          John Galdeen, leader of the GLR, reported a 12.7 mph. In his group, one rider pulled a trailer with a toddler. Toddler issues, as might be expected,  slowed the group considerably.

          An interesting scenario occurred with the Hot 2 and Extra Spicy groups. The two Hot 2 riders waited at a stop sign for the Extra Spicy Riders to catchup, planning to join those Extra Spicy Riders. Instead, some Extra Spicy riders broke away from their group and joined the Hot 2 riders! You never know what interesting events can happen on Thursday evening!

          Pictured is GLR ride leader John Galdeen demonstrating tire and wheel maintenance to Hector and Gigi. Also pictured is John with his “broken”[actually foldable] bike.

          The 5fer Thursday Ride will roll out once again next Thursday, August 12th,

as Joe Peltier is planning to take over as ride captain. Perhaps I’ll see you then.
