Here Come’s The Sun

Sing along to our spring kick off song (provided by the Beatles)…

Here comes the sun (doo doo doo doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
Let’s all ride

Little Drafter, it’s been a long cold lonely April
Little Drafter, it feels like years since we’ve biked here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
Let’s all ride

Little Drafter, the smiles returning to the faces
Little Drafter, it seems like years since we’ve drunk beer
Here comes the fun
Here comes the fun, and I say
It’s all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Fun, fun, fun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Fun, fun, fun, here it comes
Sun, sun,…

Let’s roll along the Sugar River en route to Riley Tavern. This is a nice short 20 mile route to shake the cobwebs loose. Wheels up at 5:30 sharp. The short pour, departing at 6:00, has a cut off which involves staying on Timber Lane.

JERSEY ORDER OPENS UP MONDAY. If you want to try on a sample jersey or shorts, let me know. I can bring them to Free House, and will be sending them back on Tuesday.

Remember, in order to be considered for the Drafter photo competition, you must submit a photo with some Drafter gear- headband, t-shirt, towel (hopefully not wearing it) or jersey. But, I do appreciate photos capturing the Drafter spirit even without official gear. Dr. Wampus has a spitfire on her hands. This girl will ride in all conditions.

good golly Ms. Molly — She really does need a fat tire bike.

Sorry- just saw this now. BMO bank parking lot at 6PM. But it’s best to confirm using GroupMe app.

Just accepted invite to join. Thank you! It seems someone else has my usual username. I didn’t think there were many folks out there with my first initial and last name. Even checked to see if I had signed up for Word Press long ago and forgot, but not so. I will hereby be known as Nstzyadoc (anesthesia doc).

Managed to get out this afternoon for a 30 mile ride IN SHORTS, FINALLY! First time this year without tights or knickers. A few puddles to contend with and a short treacherous icy/snow-covered section of bike path under the Airport Rd bridge, but otherwise a gorgeous afternoon for a ride.

See you Monday. Mark
