When drafting do not underestimate what Nanci said about Road Hazards. I learned drafting with my brother who is great at pointing to hazards, and my mum who is so anal about it that she points them out when we go on runs! The point is the overly cautious about hazards are much safer for you to ride with.
I rode with my aunt the other day, behind but not drafting. She wasn't on top of the pointing to hazards thing and I hit a few pot holes too big to ignore.
Know where the wind is coming from when drafting because it will affect what side you ride to. Take a look at the team time trial photos/videos from the Tour de France. You'll pick up a lot from looking at pros carefully.
I feel like Lord Stanley isn't going to be coming home for a long time! Its been 13 years since the cup last came to Canada.
