First Draft
Thanks to all who ventured out for the First Draft. The westerly winds made for a quick ride home, but certainly challenged us on the way out. Kudos to Matt, our 6'3" Drafter, for shielding us from the elements. Nothing better than a big guy to draft behind, especially with a strong headwind. A 2 hour ride is about all we can manage before losing daylight, but the Free House is well lit, so we could enjoy a cold draft without turning on our blinky lights.
Just a reminder that we will NOT be riding next week, and will start our regular season April 27th. Also, tomorrow registration opens for the Boys and Girls ride.Link to Boys and Girls RideDraft Responsibly,BrickO
