Speedtrap Ride Tuesday August 29th recap
The Speedtrap Ride brought thirty-two hardy cyclists to Elmore Tuesday night for a pleasant evening of riding.
Scott Lang led his Ghost Pepper Riders to a 24.0 mph average! It’s one of the group’s fastest rides!
Bob Kayden led a combined Cayenne Pepper Riders and Habanero Riders to a 22.0 mph average. This also is one of the group’s fastest rides!
Todd Pollock led “a mix of eleven seasoned and new riders. They started at a conservative pace, but were all eager to pick up the tempo during the final ten miles resulting in an 18.1 mph average.”
The Sweet Pepper Riders again split into two groups. Claude Watkins reported a 16.7 mph for his group. Marnie Arndt and Loren Moore rode to a 13.7 mph average.
Several riders gathered after the ride inside the bike shop for drink and good conversation, and pizza from the Portage Inn!
Pictured is Flatlander David Burris. He is not new to the Speedtrap Ride. However, he recently returned after a long absence!(a couple of years?)
Please join us next Tuesday, September 5th, for the next edition of the Speedtrap Ride, as we ride the quiet country roads of Ottawa, Sandusky, and Wood Counties. The high temperature next Tuesday is predicted to be 93 degrees, with sunny skies, a 5% chance of precipitation, and a SSW wind of 6 mph. RIDE TIME WILL BE OUR REGULAR SUMMER RIDE TIME, 6:30 pm. Sunset will be at 7:59 pm, so slower riders should have lights, both front and rear. We will be celebrating Kathy Metzger’s birthday after the ride, so come and join us. I hope to see you then!
