January | 2020 | brickosdrafters

What better time than the start of a new year to reflect on how time flies. Let thou count thy ways:

Footer reaches the half centruy milestone today. And you know what Drafters say on the road…. “what you can do once, you can do again”.

Coach Arms and C-Monster are on the home stretch of pregnancy. Well, maybe rounding second base for C-Monster, but she’ll get there soon enough. Time flies.

Footer and C-Monster fly through the Birkie Tour in Drafter beanies (also pictured: Momma and Pappa Monster)

Not turning 50 or pregnant, Skipper takes his own kind of flight.

BrickO see, BrickO do. Or doesn’t. Tom Petty seemed to be singing direclty to me as I flew through the air, off my bike, down a 30 foot (I might be exaggerating) bank at Pleasant View.

Learning to fly… but I ain’t got wings. Coming down, is the hardest thing.

Interested in learning to fly? Colin O’Brien (Drafter handle the Italian Job) can help. Please drop into Cronometro on Wednesday, Jan 29 at 5PM to hear him speak on the topic of aerodynamics as it pertains to the bike.

Draft responsibly,

BrickO

Happy New Year, Drafters. Thank you all for a wonderful year of cycling, flat tire changes, and cold beers together. I couldn’t ask for a more genuine group of friends to ride and laugh with (and at, on occasion).

Here is a quick review of cycling (and skiing) December drafts.

BrickO and Z ride the “Tough Girl” route to honor FishNBoot, our commited indoor Drafter.

Hit the Wall catches a draft with his son on a chair lift.

BrickO and Z discover the fat tire course at Standing Rocks. Highly recommend.

Skipper commutes to work along Lake Monona.

Skipper leads the mountain bike adventure at DuPont in NC. Clearly, dirty drafter gear is on tap for 2020.

Duchess and Sandlot caught with their Drafter gear down.

Vilks suits up for one last Dec ride before giving over to Zwift (follow him on Strava)

And if snow isn’t your idea of fun on a bike, registration for these two stellar events opened up TODAY. Lake Ripley on July 18, 2020 isn’t just a ride… it’s a party at Barefooter’s cabin. Please note, our beloved Dairyland Dare is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. A huge thanks to Race Day Events and Abbey V for resurecting the DLD. Please join me in daring on Aug 15, 2020.
