Speedtrap Ride Tuesday August 16th recap
The Speedtrap Ride brought thirty-two intrepid cyclists to Elmore last night. Even though there was a mild easterly headwind for the return trip to Elmore, all reported having a fantastic ride.
The Ghost Pepper Riders, Cayenne Pepper Riders, and Habanero Riders rode out as one group, but did not return that way.
Scott Lang reported a riding average of 22.1 for his Ghost Pepper Riders.
David St. Louis, guest leader for the Cayenne Pepper Group, reported 21.2 mph for his riders. Thank you David!
Doug Kilpatrick reported 21.5 mph for his ride.
Todd Pollock led six Jalapeno Riders to a 19.2 mph average.
The Sweet Pepper Riders were many, but split up. Ben Durant, riding with Dave Stoiber and Kevin Konoff, reported 16.2 mph, while a second group came in much later with a roughly 14 mph average.
The Triking Cherry Pepper Riders reported a pleasant but uneventful ride.
There were six riders new to the Speedtrap Ride. They are pictured: Jill Simpson(orange jersey), Kevin Konoff(dark blue jersey); Jerry and Susan Ruffing;
Marty Lahey(light green jersey); and Jerry Woodland(dark green shirt). Welcome all to the Speedtrap Ride!
It was vintage jersey night. Pictured are Claude Watkins in vintage Bike-to-the-Bay yellow jersey. Candy Langoria and Ken South, and four Ghost Pepper Riders(Dan, Dave, Scott, Kathy), and Dave Stover in Road Toads T-shirt.
Please join us next Tuesday, August 23rd, for the next edition of the Speedtrap Ride. It will be vintage bike night, with a prize for the winner in each of three categories: vintage in original condition, vintage restored, and modified vintage.
We roll out at 6:30 pm. I hope to see you then.
