Back Door to Church... Have Faith?
Legal drinking age. ____ Pilots. ___ Jump Street. That's the number of Drafters who conquered Black Hill, or as Speedy renamed it, Black Hell. 21 is a record high for 2020, virtually and really.The Draft inducted 3 new members: jRAD, Special K and the Rock. Captain Joe brought along his buddy, jRAD, a humble man of few words but many watts. Special K introduced the concept of snack time. We rivaled any kindergarten class for the number of snack breaks. Granted, Special K's fuel stores were depleted after 60 miles earlier in the week, training for her Aug 1 century ride run, but a full stop for trail mix every 5 miles? The jury is out on her membership status. Verdict, Judge?
E$ and Cookie Monster were tempted, but Audia had barely finished her first day of life, so they decided to wait at least another week before Drafting. It is also apparent that smaller headbands need to be ordered. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
