Ady I'll have to pop over and draft off ya!
If you get in a group and sit it it is much easier, does not assist on the climbs though!! Drop me a line if you ener, I'll bring a spare energy gel :)
that's what worries me not done a bike race yet.....not sure of the etiquette ie. drafting, half wheeling (I know you shouldn't) and when to take your turn on the front??? At least with a TT you're on your own!Quote:
