Sept 28: Black Widow
An unintentional blending of the A and B teams occurred on Monday. Tom. Collins; Corona. Lime; Brandy. Old Fashioned; Dark. Beer; Whiskey. More. These are natural couplings. A and B teams. 23 Drafters. Not so much. When Cannibal announced that the A team would be leaving at 4:45, most mortals translated that message to mean the B team should leave at 4:30 or earlier.
Skipper's translator must have been out on his new ski boat. He showed up as the A team was gearing up. "Sh*t. It's just 4 fast old guys and me." Good to differentiate by age and speed. Cannibal, Rimshot, Blurple and Booker J were a blur before long.

Gopher returned for his second Drafter appearance. He failed to bring his famous brownies, but brought something even sweeter.
Speaking of sweet things, Cookie Monster showed up for her second ride of the season, multitasking to make it happen.
Pres made his first Drafter appearance of the 2020 season. He bought an official Drafters jersey on ebay. Who knew that was possible??
If ebay doesn't have what you are looking for, the Hincapie store is giving us one last opportunity to buy Drafter gear. Store closes Sun Oct 4 at midnight.

Next week we will head towards Lodi, abbreviating the route to honor the Sun Gods who are taking a bit more each day. Black Hill is a killer. But fun. The route is 28miles, so we need to hustle. If possible, B team 4:15 wheels up, with the A team giving a wide berth with a 4:45 departure, and Skipper somewhere in between. If enough folks can continue to leave early, we will keep Drafting into early October. Be nice to hit Easy Street and Riley Tavern 25 mile routes before we call it quits. Please check your email for a Survey Monkey concerning the Drafter Year End Gala on Oct 10th or 11th. Prizes and beverages will be served.
