Speedtrap Ride Tuesday May 31st
The Speedtrap Ride, one of America’s great Tuesday night rides, will roll out once again tomorrow, May 31st, from Spoke Life Cycles in Elmore, Ohio, at 6:30 pm. At ride time the temperature will be 90 degrees, with no rain, but a southwest wind of 13 – 15 mph, diminishing as the evening progresses/
Scott Lang will lead the Ghost Pepper Riders and expects his group to average 22+ mph. Bob Kayden will take his Cayenne Pepper Riders out over the same 25-mile course and will likely average slightly less, 21+ mph. Doug Kilpatrick and his Habanero riders are likely to average 20+ mph. Todd Pollock will lead the Jalapeno Riders out over the same course and average 16 – 19 mph. I will take out anyone who would like to ride a more casual ride on a slightly shorter 22-mile course.
The southwest wind should make the return-to-Elmore portion of the ride most enjoyable. Riding averages may be higher than normal because of it. Also because of the warm weather, several riders may gather after the ride in front of the bike shop for drink and good conversation.
Pictured are regular Speedtrap riders Doug and Kathy Metzger as they appeared on June 26, 2018.
Sign-in for the ride begins at 6:00 in front of the bike shop, and we roll out at 6:30 pm. I hope to see you then.
