          Speedtrap Ride Tuesday September 30^th

                   The Speedtrap Ride, the best Tuesday night ride out of Ottawa County, will hold its final official ride of the season tomorrow, Tuesday, September 30^th. Riders will depart Spoke Life Cycles in Elmore, Ohio at 6:05 pm.  It appears that the weather will be favorable for riding: sunny skies with a temperature in the low to mid 70s, and practically no chance of rain. An ENE wind of 10 mph  is forecast, but the wind should be diminishing as the evening progresses.         

          Scott Lang will lead the Ghost Pepper Riders and will likely average 23+ mph.

          Doug Metzger and his Cayenne Pepper Riders are likely to average 21 to 22 mph.

          Ken South will lead his Habanero Riders with a riding average of 20+/- mph.

          Andy Gundlach should be back for his Jalapeno Riders, who probably average 18 to 19+ mph.

          The rest will form the Sweet Pepper Riders. Averages for the group have been 16” lately.

          Riders will still follow an alternate route, as roundabout construction continues at US 23 and SR 105. Ride time is 6:05 pm, with sunset at 7:17. So front and rear lights will be necessary.

          It will be Vintage Bike Night. There will be a Lezyne show and tell product demonstration beginning around 3:00 pm. The Vintage classes will be

Most original                         Resto-Mod                             MTB/Offroad

And                     People’s Choice

Prizes from Spoke Life and Lezyne. Pizza and Refreshments provided. BYOB and snacks to share if you want.

Sign-in begins at 5:30 pm in front of the bike shop. I hope to see you then!
