Speedtrap Ride Tuesday July 25th recap
The Speedtrap Ride brought forty-four hardy cyclists to Elmore Tuesday for a great night of cycling.
Scott Lang led his Ghost Pepper Riders to a riding average of 22.7 mph.
However, the big news of the evening is that Bob Kayden led a combined Cayenne/Habanero group also to a 22.7 mph average , almost catching up to the Ghost Pepper Riders. Way to go riders!
David Barret (substituting for Todd Pollock on Navy duty) led nine Jalapeno Riders. All returned safely with an 18.8 mph average. Thank you David for leading.
At least thirteen Sweet Pepper Riders rode out together, They eventually separated into two groups. Erik Wineland from the faster group reported 16.1 mph.
I returned with four other riders. Although we were slow, we had a great ride.
Pictured together are Nicole Reece and Sally Usher, who, I am told, were fantastic riders playing a big part in the exceptional performance of the Cayenne/Habanero group. Way to go ladies! On a sad note, this is probably Sally Usher’s last appearance in the Speedtrap Ride as she is moving to North Carolina. Sally, we will miss you!
Also pictured is first-time Speedtrap Rider Chris Murray(with fiancé Kaylyn)
Welcome Chris!
On another sad note, this was Habanero leader Doug Kilpatrick’s last appearance in the Speedtrap Ride, as he is moving to Alabama. Thank you Doug for leading and for all you’ve done for cycling in Northwest Ohio. We will miss you!
Please join us for the next chapter of the Speedtrap Ride, Tuesday, August 1st. The long-range weather forecast calls for a high of 83 degrees, partly cloudy skies with only a 14% chance of rain, and a SSW wind of 8 mph. I hope to see you then!
