Speedtrap Ride Tuesday August 30th recap
Thirty-two intrepid cyclists came to Elmore Tuesday evening for the August 30th edition of the Speedtrap Ride.
Scott Lang led the Ghost Pepper Riders and reported a riding average of 22.9 mph.
Bob Kayden led five Cayenne Pepper Riders, plus Doug Kilpatrick for a while, to an average of 22.3 mph.
Todd Pollock had eleven in his group of Jalapeno Riders and reported 18.7 mph for an average.
Ben Durant of the Sweet Pepper Riders reported a 16.4 mph average for that group.
Becky and Audrey again formed the Good Looking Pepper Riders and rode down the North Coast Inland Trail and back for thirteen miles.
Most riders experienced a healthy west wind, 10 to 15 mph, gusting even higher. However, there were no complaints as most of the return to Elmore portion of the ride was enjoyable.
After the ride, several riders gathered in front of the bike shop for drink and good conversation.
Pictured is veteran Flatlander David Burris. Although he is not new to the Speedtrap Ride, it was his first appearance in quite some time! Welcome back David! Also pictured are some Jalapeno Riders on the road. Thank you Todd Pollock for those two photos!
Please join us next Tuesday, September 6th, when the Speedtrap Ride rolls out once again. The forecast is for favorable weather—a high of 80 degrees! Ride time will be 6:30 pm! It will be ride-the-Speedtrap-route-in-reverse night! We will ride counterclockwise! Sign-in begins at 6:00 in front of the bike shop. I hope to see you then!
