Speedtrap Ride: Tuesday May 9th recap and Tuesday May 16th Ride
Last Tuesday, May 9th, thirty-five cyclists came to Elmore for a pleasant evening of cycling:
Scott Lang led his Ghost Pepper Riders to a 23.1 mph average
John Del Toro led the Cayenne Pepper Riders to a 21 mph average.
Doug Kilpatrick and his Habanero Riders reported an average of 19.5 mph
Todd Pollock led a group of six Jalapeno cyclists and reported a riding average of 16.2 mph
No report from the Sweet Pepper Riders.
Pictured are the Jalapeno Riders going against an easterly headwind. Thank you Todd Pollock for that photo. Also pictured is Nicole Reece in the kitten jersey. Several riders stayed in Elmore after the ride to celebrate Nicole’s birthday. Happy Birthday Nicole! Thank you John Del Toro for that photo and for the general ride report.
The next chapter of the Speedtrap Ride will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, May 16th. Cyclists will leave Spoke Life Cycles in Elmore promptly at 6:30 pm.
The same five groups will prevail! Are you ready for the Speedtrap challenge!
The weather for tomorrow’s ride is predicted to be even more favorable than last week: a temperature in the upper 70s, a west wind of 11 mph, and partly cloudy skies with no chance of rain.
Sign-in will take place once again in the bike shop, or out on the table in front of the bike shop, as I may not be in Elmore again this week. I do plan to resume my official role as ride captain next week, May 23rd.
