Speedtrap Ride Tuesday September 13th recap

          Thirty-one intrepid cyclists came to Elmore Tuesday night for the September 13th Speedtrap Ride. Although a mild west wind was predicted, some reported it as strong as 15 mph. Aside from that, most indicated they had a great ride.

          John Del Toro led a combined Ghost Pepper/Cayenne Pepper group. Rob Golden from that group reported a 23.3 mph average.

          Doug Kilpatrick and his Habanero Riders rode to a 20.8 mph average.

          Todd Pollock rode out leading eight Jalapeno Riders, but returned as a group of nine, picking up Ben Durant along the way. Todd reported 18.7 mph for the group.

          Four other riders formed the Sweet Pepper Riders and Claude Watkins from that group reported 16.0 mph

          Tom and Charlene Saunders rode  down the North Coast Inland Trail and back for 17 miles at 12 mph.

          There were no riders new to the Speedtrap Ride this week. However, pictured (from earlier this year) is Ben Durant, the one (former?) Sweet Pepper Rider who seems to be getting faster every week! Way to go Ben! Also pictured is a group of Jalapeno Riders on the road. Thank you Todd Pollock for that photo!

          After the ride, several gathered in front of the bike shop for drink and good conversation.

          Next Tuesday. September 20th, we will celebrate Bob Kayden’s 70th birthday. There will be a 7-mile run at 6:00 am, then a 45-mile bike ride a 2:00 pm. The Speedtrap Ride will cap things off at 6:10 pm, with fun, fellowship and food following the ride. All events begin and end at Spoke Life Cycles in Elmore. The high temperature will be 82 degrees, with a SSW wind of 5 mph, and little chance of rain. Sounds like a fun time to me! Please join us!

Sign-in begins at 5:40 in front of the bike shop. I hope to see you then!
