Speedtrap Ride Tuesday, July 19th recap
The Speedtrap Ride, the best Tuesday night ride out of Ottawa County, saw thirty-three riders come to Elmore last night for a great bicycle ride.
Scott Lang was back in good form and led the Ghost Pepper Riders to a 23.1 mph average.
Bob Kayden led a combined Cayenne Pepper/Habanero Rider group to a 21.0 mph average.
The nine Jalapeno Riders rode to an 18.9 mph average as reported by leader Todd Pollock.
There were three Sweet Pepper Riders. Claude Watkins from that group reported 15.3 mph.
Becky Kayden and Audrey Schnabel formed the Good Looking Pepper Riders and rode down the North Coast Inland Trail and back for a total of 13.15 miles at 9.63 mph.
Two riders in addition to the thirty-three were Charlene and Tom Saunders, who may become the trike contingent of the Speedtrap Ride. They also rode down the trail and back, and are pictured.
Pictured also are Kendra and Phil Carroll. It was Kendra’s first Speedtrap Ride. Welcome Kendra!
Tim Michaels rode his last ride with his current cycling shoes. He is pictured with his practically shredded shoe. He bought new shoes before going home.
Todd Pollock provided the picture of Jalapeno Riders on the road. Thank you Todd!
Please join us next Tuesday for the next great chapter in the Speedtrap Ride. With a temperature in the low 80s and SSW winds if 6 mph, it will be another memorable ride. I hope to see you then!
