Speedtrap Ride Tuesday June 27th recap
The best Tuesday night ride out of Ottawa County, the Speedtrap Ride, brought forty-two hardy cyclists to Elmore last night.
Dan Willis substituted for Scott Lang in leading the Ghost Pepper Riders. Thank you Dan. However, Ben Groves from that group reported an average of 24.6 mph. This may be a Speedtrap record.
Bob Kayden and his twelve Cayenne Pepper Riders joined the Habanero Riders, led by Tony Mazurek, and returned with a very impressive 21.8 mph average. Thank you Tony for filling in for Doug Kilpatrick.
John Del Toro, substituting for Todd Pollock(who has military duties), led the Jalapeno Riders to an 19.5 mph average. Thank you John for leading.
The Sweet Pepper Riders started out with nine riders. Claude Watkins from that group reported 15.5 mph.
JoAnn Wegert and Marnie Arndt formed the Good Looking Pepper Riders. They rode down the North Coast Inland Trail and back: 11 miles at 12.0 mph.
Pictured are first-time Speedtrap Riders Renea Magrum(bright green jersey), Frank Kinor(red and black jersey), Steve Parker(blue and white jersey), John Henline(blue and black jersey),and Troy Poling(orange jersey). Not pictured is Zach Clapp(I’ll get his picture next time!) Welcome all to the Speedtrap Ride!
After the ride, several gathered in front to the bike shop to celebrate Doug Metzger’s birthday. Happy Birthday Doug!
There will not be a Speedtrap Ride next Tuesday, July 4th. The next chapter of the Speedtrap Ride will take place on Tuesday, July 11th. I hope to see you then!
