Taverns, Churches and Ball Diamonds
My apologies for the last minute "game on" post last Monday. The forecast was nearly 100% inaccurate, starting with the cloudy icon for the afternoon, which mocked me as I looked at it on my iPhone during the deluge . Technically, since it was predicting an 80% chance of rain at 6PM, but delivered one single drop, I guess the percentage of inaccuracy was only 79. Regardless, I was happy for the 6 pack who showed up to ride. Truth be told, we bailed on the steepest climbs on Bittney and Buethin, but also redeemed our drafterhood by resisting the temptation to cruise home on the bike path.
This ride capitalizes on some of Wisconsin's most established establishments. We will enjoy two rural towns, Ashton and Martinsville, complete with a home talent ball diamond, church and bar at their center. It is nothing short of glorious- a little something for everybody.This Monday, May 21, Drone Master will be shooting live footage of the Draft, so be sure to look your Sunday best. For those who own one jersey, be sure it's pressed, Hit-the-Wall. We did a drone video a few years ago and it was really fun. It would work best if we stayed in a pack at the key locations, which I will reveal just before wheels up at 5:30. It isn't being kept top secret to throw photo bomb seeking cyclists off our scent, but rather I am currently unsure of the best sites for Drone Master to operate from.The short pour has two options. It is roughly 25miles if you cut across Hwy 12 from Collins Ridge Rd and take the bike path home, instead of continuing across on Rauls. A much shorter route would be to take a RIGHT turn on Kickaboo, cut across Hwy 12 and take the bike path home (highlighted in yellow).

We seem to be experiencing exponential growth in our U3 cyclists. Let's see if Crono's bike fitter extraordinaire can help set up the next generation of Drafters.
Reminder that there is no ride on Memorial Day.Draft responsibly,BrickO
