Speedtrap Ride Tuesday July 26th recap
The Speedtrap Ride brought thirty-eight riders to Elmore Tuesday night for its July 26th edition. The weather was nearly perfect for riding.
Scott Lang led the Ghost Pepper Riders to a 23.3 mph average! Scott and his group just keep getting faster!
Bob Kayden brought his Cayenne Pepper Riders back with a 22.2 mph average, his best in a long time! Included in his group were Todd Pollock and Tim Michaels. Because of Todd’s performance, will he be giving up his role as Jalapeno leader? And…There were many praises for Tim’s effort in the group, and some said it was probably a personal best for him.
Guest ride leader Joe Peltier led the Jalapeno Riders to an 18.5 mph average, and had one flat. Thank you Joe!
The Sweet Pepper Riders split into two groups. Loren Moore took some riders on the long route, and reported an average of 15.4 mph. Ben, Ron, and Joyce took the short route, and rode to a 13.8 mph average
Regular Good Looking Pepper Riders Becky and Audrey rode down the trail and back.
Included in the total number of riders are six recumbent tricycle riders, who also rode down the trail and back. Looks like they will become the Cherry Pepper Riders.
New to the Speedtrap Ride this week are David Barrett, who rode in the Jalapeno Group, and Brad Reineck, who rode in the Sweet Pepper group. Also new were four recumbent tricycle riders: Don and Andrea Lacumsky, and Rick and Nancy Whitehill. They are pictured. Welcome all to the Speedtrap Ride!
