Crystal Clear Take II

Our last Monday draft in April will take us to Crystal Lake. See blog post from last week (best if you download the WordPress app rather than fish through your emails) for GPS, map and cue sheet. This will be our last split departure: B team 4:30 and A Team 5:00PM. Moving into May with longer daylight and a promise from the A team to play nice, we will depart as a cohesive unit at 5PM. Beverages to follow. It doesn't appear Drafters are interested in pizza. We can revisit ordering pizza again later in the season should post-ride hunger cravings increase. BYO lawn chairs (a Coleman black and blue was left behind).

PDQ has generously and obliviously done recon (read: failed to check GroupMe for cancellation notice) and reports favorable road conditions. IF YOU ARE NOT RECEIVING GROUPME NOTIFICATIONS AND WOULD LIKE TO, PLEASE TEXT ME.

PDQ (pretty damn quick). Not so much when it comes to checking cancellations. But we appreciate his dedication to the Draft.

WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST DRAFTER! Congratulations to Tobacco City Boy and Dan-yelly. We can't wait to meet her.

She was born ready to Draft.

And congratulations to Cookie Monster on being the cover girl for the Birkie Tour. With a million dollar smile and personality, and a billion dollar brain covered by a Drafter hat, not a bad choice.

Skipper also got some press. Check out the Bike Fed Guide for the MadBAT scoop from our very out IMBA Trail Solutions Drafter.

Lastly, Hincapie 2021 orders should be sent May 12, and older kit orders June 9th. Thanks for supporting the Draft. Enjoy 20% off on non-Drafter items at Hincapie Sportswear all year with code SBRICKSON.

Th order for SweatVac drafter DriFit shirts is being placed next week (no interest in headbands). The Drafter Youth will be represented by a root beer float mug rather than a frosty beer mug. If you missed the memo and would like to order a shirt for you or your offspring, please let me know ASAP.

Draft Responsibly

It is really exciting to promote cycling in our youngins. The Dirty Draft on Wed from 5-7PM at Blackhawk is a great opportunity to share the cycling love with our kids. Memberships at Blackhawk are extremely inexpensive, but required to ride.

Speedy and kiddos (not pictured), Air Bourne, Footer and BrickO get dirty at BH.

LuLu on 2 wheels while Columbus and Canine take to the trails by foot (and paw).

Draft responsibly,
