Speedtrap Ride Tuesday July 5th
The Speedtrap Ride will roll out once again tomorrow, Tuesday, July 5th, from Spoke Life Cycles in Elmore, Ohio. The faster groups will ride the long route, 25 miles. Slower groups will cut off a little bit, and ride 22 miles.
The weather forecast is for a temperature of 90 degrees at ride time, a west wind of 10 mph, and a 30+% chance of an isolated thunderstorm.
Scott Lang will lead the Ghost Pepper Riders. His group will likely average 22 to 23+ mph. Are you up to the challenge?! Bob Kayden will lead the Cayenne Pepper Riders at a slightly slower pace: 21+ mph. Doug Kilpatrick will take out his Habanero Riders at 20+ mph. Todd Pollock should be back to lead the Jalapeno Riders at anywhere from 16 to 19 mph. I will still probably not be riding….A substitute leader will be needed for the Sweet Pepper Riders.
You may think that Elmore is farther than you would like to drive for a bike ride! Fear not….Elmore is only 22 miles from the University of Toledo area. That’s not farther than Whitehouse is from many sections of the metro area. It just seems farther away because it is in Ottawa County.
So come on out to Elmore and ride some quiet country roads. You’ll meet and ride with some great people, too! I will be there to begin sign-in at 6:00 in front of the bike shop, and we roll out at 6:30. I hope to see you then!
