I have a friend and he is very tall and also very nice. I have confided in him that I want to get faster so what we do is we ride... he is waaaaaaaaaay faster than I am but he creates the most beautiful draft. If I want to stay in that sweet draft I have to pay attention and work very hard sometimes, then I get to rest a bit as I draft off of him. If he drops me, he always slows down and picks me back up again, he knows his job is to keep me going and motivated and he's nice enough to indulge me. My goal is to ride with him once a week like this, then maybe one day I'll be able to hang out with the big kids. (I'm stuck between groups as well).
Living life like there's no tomorrow.
