Speedtrap Ride Tuesday, July 11th recap
The Speedtrap Ride brought thirty-six hardy cyclists to Elmore Tuesday for a pleasant but windy evening of cycling.
Scott Lang ked the Ghost Pepper Riders and reported a riding average of 22.7 mph.
Bob Kayden had four riders in his Cayenne Pepper group and reported a 21.5 mph average.
Doug Kilpatrick led the Habanero Riders and came back with a 20.5 mph average.
Todd Pollock led ten Jalapeno Riders to an 18.3 mph average.
There were quite a few Sweet Pepper Riders, Claude Watkins from that group reported an average of 15.8 mph.
Although it was windy with wind speeds 10 mph plus, most riders were glad to have a westerly wind, providing a nice tailwind for most of the return-to-Elmore portion of the ride. This, after several weeks of east winds!
Welcome Dave Stoiber back to the Speedtrap Ride after his bike mishap a few weeks ago. He night have a scar or two but thankfully no major injury!
Pictured are Dan and Gwen Waggoner on their tandem trike. Pictured in Flatlanders jerseys are Bryan Rose, Scott Lang, and Mike Grillis. Thank you Kathy Metzger for that photo. Thank you Todd Pollock for the photo of Jalapeno Riders on the road.
Please join us Tuesday, July 18th, for the next chapter of the Speedtrap Ride. The long-range forecast calls for a high temperature of 82 degrees, mostly sunny skies, less than a 15% chance of rain, and a west wind of 9 mph. Sign-in begins at 6:00 in front of the bike shop. I hope to see you then!
