Speedtrap Ride Tuesday August 2nd
Hardy Cyclists:
The Speedtrap Ride, one of America’s great Tuesday night rides, will roll out again tomorrow, Tuesday, August 2nd, at 6:30 pm from Spoke Life Cycles in Elmore, Ohio. The weather for tomorrow’s ride calls for sunny skies, a temperature of about 80 degrees, and an easterly wind of less than 5 mph.
Scott Lang will lead the Ghost Pepper Riders on a 25-mile loop, and he’ll likely average 23+ mph! Are you ready for the Ghost Pepper Challenge!!
Bob Kayden will take out the Cayenne Pepper Riders over the same course at a slightly slower speed, 21+ mph. But last week his group topped 22 for the first time in a long time. Be prepared for anything this week.
Doug Kilpatrick will lead the Habanero Riders over the same course at 20+ mph.
John Del Toro, tapering for the Mohican Trippple, will be the guest leader for the Jalapeno group. Thank you John. He expects to average 16 – 19 mph.
Any riders who would like to ride at a more casual pace will form the Sweet Pepper Riders.
After the ride, pizza from the Portage Inn in Elmore will be provided to all riders. Pizza is provided by the Flatlanders Bicycle Club, There will be both veggie and meat options available. Paper plates and napkins will be provided.
The Speedtrap Ride is a joint venture of both the Toledo Area Bicyclists(TAB) and the Flatlanders Bicycle Club. It’s a great opportunity to ride some lightly traveled roads and to meet some great people, too! Sign-in begins at 6:00 in front of the bike shop. I hope to see you then.
