Well, it would seem that they are now enforcing that stupid speed limit ordinance on the Cedar River Trail. Another overreaction to one bad incident that wasn't even due to the speed of the cyclists (or the cyclists at all for that matter), and a rule that was probably made by someone who hasn't been on a bike since they were 9. I mean really, I coast at about 12 MPH on that trail without even trying.

Anyways, what happened was I was out walking my dog on the Cedar River Trail this morning and saw two cyclists get pulled over by a motorcycle cop that was parked on one of the "on ramps" to the trail about half way between the community center and that first light at the golf course. The cyclists were probably going between 18-22 MPH if I had to guess and received a ticket for speeding since the speed limit is 10 MPH there.

I hope they don't start enforcing this farther down the trail where it's pretty much desolate except for cyclists, or I'll have to find somewhere else to ride. Which is sad because a big perk to living where I do is having access to this trail.

So, I thought I'd give you all a heads up so you hopefully don't get a ticket. The Maple Valley Highway runs along the Cedar River Trail, so you could always start riding on that. I think that might be my preferred route now at least for that first part.

Also, for the ladies doing the Burly Girl for the Cycle the Wave ride tomorrow, be careful! Slow down at least for that part... Although, they can't give us all tickets can they?
