Speedtrap Ride Tuesday October 11th recap
Eighteen cyclists came to Elmore Tuesday evening and rode an unofficial Speedtrap Ride. It waa relatively warm, with a temperature near 70, but skies were cloudy and gloomy, and most riders reported a strong wind on much of the ride.
.Jacob Morrison, substituting for Scott Lang, led four Ghost Pepper Riders and reported an average of 23.2 mph
Bob Kayden led seven Cayenne Pepper Riders and reported a riding average of 21.7 mph
There was no official leader for the Habanero/Jalapeno Riders, but Todd Pollock indicated 19.8 mph.
Ron Purk and Candy Langoria left early but reported a 16 mph average.
Tim Dillon rode his first Speedtrap Ride Tuesday evening. Tim was visiting family in Perrysburg. He hails from another state, but said he is a now an official TAB member. Tim said he liked how the ride was organized and how riders all rode cooperating with each other. Tim is pictured. Welcome Tim!
Also pictured is yours truly wearing the kitten jersey, although a week late. It is a Flatlanders tradition for a rider celebrating a birthday to wear the kitten jersey, However, no one knew where the jersey actually was last week. Thank you Kathy Metzger for that photo!
Another unofficial Speedtrap Ride is planned for next Tuesday, October 18th, at 6:00 pm(or as soon as bike shop folks can be ready). However, there is a 46% chance of PM showers with a high temperature of only 47 degrees.
Perhaps I’ll see you then!
