June 26: Spring Valley
I would like to formally acknowledge and welcome the Rainbow Maker to the Draft. Shortly upon canceling the ride Monday night, Newbie Dr. Squire, obviously unaware of our efficient blog mode of communication, called to ask, "Where is everybody?" Billy Boy, Arms, Captain Joe and Z were geared up and so an unofficial ride ensued. We ran into Roy G Biv at least several times, and were beckoned to follow the bike path home, where a pot of beer awaited us. 
Nobody was complaining about taking the short cut home on the bike path given that most of the group had ridden the 100k Horribly Hilly Hundreds on Saturday. B2 Bomber "warmed up" for the 200k HHH with a double century ride on Friday. Rumor has it that Yoga on Monday mornings from 6:15-7AM at the VFW with Karen Rigsby is largely responsible for his super human performance. Drop ins are welcome. Cost is $15. Elton John had some words to say about Bomber's HHH:

In Drafter Professional Development: Congrats to K2 on defending her thesis. She's been noticeably absent from the Draft while "goofing" off as a graduate student at the U of Oregon (because PT school wasn't hard enough). Go Ducks! CM Wille found time to study for her PT Sports Specialist Certification amidst working on her PhD and baking Monster Cookies with special ISU colored M&Ms for my daughter's graduation party. She found out during the Rainbow Ride that she passed her exam. CONGRATS to both of you!LuciO is celebrating a tri fecta of accomplishments: 1) completing her Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship at the UW, 2) Aging up on July 2, and 3) a 4th place finish without coughing up a hairball. Please help us CELEBRATE with LuciO after the ride on Monday! Her boss, Mega Watt, also has a July aging event. It's a twofer.
Lastly, I had a request for the Spring Valley route for Monday. It is, in my opinion, the most challenging Drafter ride, best done during the Summer Solstice as we will need the light. Bring your dinner plate for Enchanted Valley.
