Speedtrap Ride Tuesday September 6th

          To all hardy cyclists: The Speedtrap Ride, one of America’s great Tuesday night rides, will roll out once again, tomorrow, Tuesday, September 6th, from Spoke Life Cycles in Elmore, Ohio at 6:30 pm. The weather will be favorable for riding: mostly sunny, a temperature in the low 70s, and an ENE wind of 8 mph diminishing as the evening progresses. The sun willset at 7:57,so slower riders must have both front and rear lights!

          This week we will ride the regular Speedtrap route in reverse: counterclockwise!

          Scott Lang will lead the Ghost Pepper Riders and expects to average 22 – 23+ mph. Are you up to the challenge!

          Bob Kayden will take out his Cayenne Pepper Riders at maybe a slightly slower pace: 21 – 22+ mph. His group has been getting faster!

          Doug Kilpatrick and his Habanero Riders will likely average 20 – 21+ mph.

          Todd Pollock will lead the Jalapeno Riders at anywhere from 16 – 19 mph.

          All other riders who would prefer to ride at a more casual pace will be the Sweet Pepper Riders. Averages have been 16+ lately.

          The Speedtrap Ride is a rare opportunity to participate in a ride sponsored by two bike clubs: the Toledo Area Bicyclists(TAB) and the Flatlanders Bicycle Club. So come on out to Elmore and meet some great people! You’ll ride some quiet country roads, too! Elmore is no farther than Whitehouse from many parts of the Toledo metro area. Sign-in begins at 6:00 in front of the bike shop, and we ride this week at 6:30 pm! I hope to see you then!
