Speedtrap Ride Tuesday June 13th recap
The Speedtrap Ride brought eighteen hardy cyclists to Elmore last night to ride in brutal wind, blustery, cloudy conditions, cool temperatures, with the possibility of rain any minute.
Because of the low turnout, some riding groups were combined. Because of the unfavorable weather, some rode in a group slower than their usual.
Scott Lang reported an average of 22 mph. David St. Louis reported 21.0 mph. Thank you David for leading.
Unfortunately, as the Habanero/Jalapeno group was passing the Sweet Pepper Riders, two bikes made contact with each other. Both riders went down and suffered shoulder injuries. Fortunately, though, the injuries were not serious or life-threatening. Our thoughts and prayers are with the riders to enjoy a speedy recovery and to be back in the saddle soon.
Pictured is regular Speedtrap rider Candy Langoria, who was one of last night’s hardy cyclists.
Please join us next week for the June 20th edition of the Speedtrap Ride. The long-range weather forecast calls for a high of 77 degrees, partly cloudy skies, and only a 20% chance of precipitation. There will, however, once again, be an ENE wind of 10 – 20 mph. I hope to see you then!
