Speedtrap Ride Tuesday July 18th recap
The Speedtrap Ride brought forty-one hardy cyclists to Elmore Tuesday for an almost perfect evening for riding. There was no precipitation, almost no wind, and a temperature in the upper 70s.
Scott Lang led the Ghost Pepper Riders and reported a 23.1 mph average.
Bob Kayden led a combined Cayenne Pepper/Habanero group and ode to a 22.0 mph average! Way to go Bob!
David Barret, substituting for Todd Pollock, led ten Jalapeno Riders. All returned together with a 19.2 mph average. Thank you David for leading.
Nine Sweet Pepper Riders rode out together. Erik Wineland from that group reported a 17.6 mph average.
A few riders went for a short ride on the North Coast inland Trail. They included Marnie Arndt, JoAnn Wegert, and Dan Waggoner. They called themselves the Carrot Riders.
Pictured are some Cayenne and Habanero Riders on the road. Thank you Bob Kayden for that photo. Also pictured are some of the Carrot Riders. Thank you JoAnn Wegert for that photo.
There were two noteworthy events on the ride. Dave Stover rode his tandem with Nicole Reece, Ron Purk had a flat on SR 105 shortly after turning off of US23.
Shame on me for not getting a photo of either.
Please join us for the next chapter of the Speedtrap Ride. The long range weather forecast for next Tuesday, July 25th, calls for partly cloudy skies, a temperature of 85 degrees, a 24% chance of rain, and a WSW wind of 7 mph.
I hope to see you then!
