Speedtrap Ride Tuesday September 20th recap
The Speedtrap Ride brought thirty-seven hardy cyclists to Elmore Tuesday night for its September 20th edition. The temperature was mild, but most reported a brutal wind most of the way.
Dan Willis(substituting for Scott Lang) led the Ghost Pepper Rider. Rob Golden from that group reported a riding average of 22.3 mph.
Dave Stover(filling in for Bob Kayden) led the Cayenne Pepper Riders with a 22.1 mph average
Doug Kilpatrick and his Habanero Riders rode to a 20.1 mph average.
Todd Pollock led eight Jalapeno Riders and reported a 17.7 mph average for his group.
There were four Sweet Pepper Riders. Claude Watkins reported a 16 mph average.
Four Triking Cherry Pepper Riders rode down the North Coast Inland Trail and back.
After the ride, several riders and friends gathered in front of the bike shop for drink and good conversation, well into the darkness.
There were no riders new to the Speedtrap Ride, but pictured is regular Speedtrap Rider Kathy Metzger as she appeared in the kitten jersey September 3, 2019. We celebrated her birthday two weeks ago, but was not pictured. Also pictured are some Jalapeno Riders on the road. Thank you Todd Pollock for that photo!
Please join us next Tuesday, September 27th, for the last official Speedtrap Ride of the season. Our official ride time will be 6:00 pm, but we will wait a few minutes for the bike shop folks to close the shop and get out to the ride. There will be a mixture of clouds and sun, with a high temperature of 60 degrees. The sun will set, however, at 7:20 pm, so front and rear lights are highly recommended, especially for slower riders. Sign-in begins at 5:30 in front of the bike shop, I hope to see you then!
