Speedtrap Ride Tuesday August 8th recap
The Speedtrap Ride brought thirty-three cyclists to Elmore Tuesday for a great evening of riding. The was a light headwind for the first part of the ride. However, there were no complaints, and the return-to-Elmore portion of the ride was very enjoyable.
Scott Lang led five Ghost Pepper Riders to a 23.0 mph average.
Dave Stover’s Cayenne Pepper Riders and Ken South’s Habanero riders joined to form a group of seven riders averaging 22.2 mph.
Andrew Gundlach, substituting for Todd Pollock, led the Jalapeno 
Riders and reported an average of 18.7 mph.
I rode out with at least ten other Sweet Pepper Riders. The group split into two early on. I was with the slower group of four riders No report from the faster group. All completed the ride returning to Elmore safely with no issues.
Several riders gathered after the ride inside the bike shop for drink and good conversation.s
