About Him:
Don't feed Cornbread
egg-bake when he has a chicken on his plate. I don't know
about that, but wait until he gets a load of strained peas and
carrots. That's right, Wes has just recently become the
proud father of 'Wyatt James Djuplin'. The first child of
what I'm sure will be many to grace the Djuplin home. Wes
has purchased a new bike for the '06 riding season. If it
rides as good as it looks, there's no telling how fast he'll be
able to ride.
Bike: Something or
Another........ Ask Norm. (it's a TREK 4300)
Nickname: Joey Kool-Aid,
Fisherman, Luv Joey,
About Him:
"Joe is a stallion", that's a quote
overheard at a gala event that several Drivers Club members
attended last summer. And after a summer of morning
commutes, all I can say is... 'Yes he is!' Often times,
Joe had to be held back from breaking away from the peleton,
occasionally by a tug on the shirt. There is an eerie
resemblance to a certain Toto snatching, broom riding mean lady
from the 1930's, in Joe's riding style.
About Him:
Mike finally has his Specialized just
the way he wants it. It's been a
long storied tale from purchase to trail ready. Must be
time for an upgrade. But as the
weather shows signs of improving, Mike is first to chime in with
requests to start our morning commutes. He now has a
fellow Drivers Club member on the west end, which means that he
may be able to change up the route and add a few weekly miles to
the normal commute. This summer Mike has taken the leap to
the world of road biking and has since been logging quality
miles on the hills of Kenosha County. We have yet to see if Mike will be
able to effectively throw a boomerang from atop his Specialized FSR, early sources say he will. Mike puts on his dress
duds on his days off and works as a real estate agent for
Shorewest.

competitive running and tennis beyond my reach. Thank you
Drivers Club!
About Him:
John has been a loyal Drivers Club member
all of last year. Seeing as how he was stationed at
another house made it harder for him to keep in touch with the
day to day activities of our club. Hopefully this website
will aid in the communication process. John would ride out
with the Eichelman group and meet up at 116th and the bike
trail. Then on the way back downtown, he'd cut off from
the group and veer toward his station. John has recently
found himself on a different shift, thus complicating matters
further. Only time will tell if he can remain as dedicated
to his riding. Possibly an A-shift branch of the Drivers
Club, that would be nice expansion.
