Thirty-one cyclists came to Elmore this past Tuesday for the latest edition of the Speedtrap Ride. Dan Willis filled in for Scott Lang and led the Ghost Pepper Riders to a 22.5 mph average. Bob Kayden led a combined Cayenne Pepper/Habanero Rider group and reported a riding average of 21.6 mph. Todd Pollock reported that the Jalapeno Riders started out with seven riders and five returned with an 18 mph average. Claude Watkins reported a riding average of 15.1 mph for the Sweet Pepper Riders. Becky Kayden and Audrey Schnabel formed the Good Looking Pepper Riders and rode down the North Coast Inland Trail and back.[No report on their ride]
It was tandem night, but only one tandem rode. Dave Stover and Jana Loy reported a riding average of 19.4 mph. There is no picture because they left early[Isn’t that against TAB and Flatlander rules!?]
Pictured are first time Speedtrap Riders Abdu Aljendy(red helmet), Rick Nudd(white arm band), and Dave Fisher(gray shirt), who has reappered in my life after 35 years! Welcome all to the Speedtrap Ride!
Also pictured are some Jalapeno Riders and Chris Marquardt and Debra Lohr just horsing(tandeming?) around.
Several riders gathered in front of the bike shop after the ride for drink and conversation.
For next Tuesday, June 14th, the long-range forecast is for a high temperature of 85 degrees, less than a 25% chance of rain, and ESE winds at 11 mph. Please join us. Sign-in begins at 6:00 in front of the bike shop. I hope to see you then!
