Speedtrap Ride Tuesday August 9th
To all intrepid cyclists: The Speedtrap Ride, the best Tuesday night ride out of Ottawa County will roll out once again tomorrow, Tuesday, August 9th, at 6:30 pm from Spoke Life Cycles in Elmore, Ohio.
Scott Lang will lead the Ghost Pepper Riders. If you ride in his group, expect to average 22 – 23+ mph. Are you up for the challenge!
Bob Kayden will take out the Cayenne Pepper Riders at a slightly slower pace. He expects to average 21+ mph.
Doug Kilpatrick, leader of the Habanero Riders, expects to average 20+ mph.
Todd Pollock will lead the Habanero Rider group at anywhere from 16 to 19 mph.
Any riders who would like to ride at a more casual pace will form the Sweet Pepper Riders and will likely average 14 – 16 mph.
The weather forecast is a temperature in the upper 70s with a northeast wind of less than 5 mph. There is little or no chance of any rain.
As we come into late summer, the sun is beginning to set earlier than it did in June. All riders should think about lights for evening riding—not so much to see, but for others on the road to see you!
So come on out to Elmore. Ride some quiet country roads. Meet some great people. It looks like it will be a perfect night for riding. Sign-in begins at 6:00 in front of the bike shop. I hope to see you then!
