Speedtrap Ride Tuesday June 7th
The Speedtrap Ride is a 25-mile bike ride(22 miles for the slow groups) that takes place every Tuesday through September. We roll out at 6:30 pm from Spoke Life Cycles in Elmore, Ohio. The ride is co-sponsored by the Toledo Area Bicyclists(TAB) and the Flatlanders Bicycle Club of Fremont.
There are five groups, each riding at a different speed. Scott Lang leads the Ghost Pepper Riders. That group usually averages 22+ mph. Are you up to the challenge!? Bob Kayden leads the Cayenne Pepper Riders at a slightly slower pace, 21+ mph. Doug Kilpatrick takes out the Habanero Riders and usually returns with a 20+ mph average. Todd Pollock leads the Jalapeno Riders with an average of 16 – 19 mph. I take out the Sweet Pepper Riders, any who would like to ride at a casual pace.
Come on out to the Speedtrap Ride and spice up your training! You’ll ride some quiet country roads with very little vehicular traffic. In addition, you’ll ride with and meet some great people, too! After the ride, several riders(and often non-riding spouses and friends) gather for drink and good conversation(and sometimes food, too!)
This coming Tuesday, June 7th, will have favorable riding conditions: temperatures in the low 70s, only a 15% chance of rain, and NW winds at 10 mph. It's also Tandem night. Get out those tandems, lube those chains, and bring your riding partners!
Sign-in begins at 6:00 in front of the bike shop. I hope to see you then!
