Apologies to Prince….

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you drafting
I only wanted to see you
Drafting in the Monday rain

Monday rain, Monday rain
Monday rain, Monday rain
Monday rain, Monday rain
I only wanted to see you
Drafting in the Monday rain

Mother Nature has made it difficult to trust the radar. Two weeks ago, the decision was made to cancel the draft, only to have the sun come out at the strike of 5 o’clock. Pit Stop was all dressed up with not place to go.

Fool me once. We didn’t cancel last Monday, but only a few good fellas had faith that the rain would hold off. And it did.

We will recycle the Good Fellows route for all to enjoy, but next week, we are back at CROSSROADS COFFEEHOUSE in Cross Plains. Departure times at 4:45 and 5PM. The short pour is ~24 miles, while the full strength tap is a bit longer (36 miles, with a few more climbs). NOTE: both are slightly different from our first round at Crossroads. Be sure to load V2.0 into your Garmin/Wahoo. Feel free to hang out on the patio afterwards. Beer floats are top notch.

DIRTY DRAFT UPDATE: let’s see if we can get dirty on Wednesday evenings, starting JUNE 5 at 5PM at the Middleton Bike Park/CXC Trailhead located at 4355 Schwartz Rd, Middleton. Look for updates on GroupMe (Dirty Draft GroupMe separate from Drafters). The clubhouse has cold beer. There is a motion to desegregate the golfing and MTB communities by sharing some suds. Anyone game?

Draft responsibly,
