Several Wright-Patterson military and civilian personnel participated in the time trial. While most riders were Ohioans, several came from Indiana, Michigan and Kentucky.
The youngest Blue Streak rider was 6-year-old Etta Hudson of Tipp City who circled the course in 35 minutes and 1 second. Etta rode a “tag-along” extension behind her grandfather retired Lt. Gen. Jack Hudson. Hudson said his granddaughter pedaled well and enjoyed the ride.
The 22nd Blue Streak season will continue the second Tuesday of each month through October, including July 14, Aug.11,
Sept. 8 and Oct.13.
