"Plus, wouldnt you want to be able to say you did the ride under your own steam? Maybe thats not important to some. Maybe its not important."
- Thats crazy, drafting is easier. That's why people do it. Bicycles, cars, runners. Drafting works for a reason, you can ride easier, whether its for speed, for time or even to allow the tired out of shape rider to make it back home. As was stated though, don't look at the rear wheel, look at the hips. Once you are in the groove you can accelerate, slow, rest, turn, get led out, anything, all without looking. Its trust and teamwork. On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 1:02 AM, Lungimsam <john11.2...@gmail.com> wrote: > I know it must be fun to gain the speed of a paceline.
