Everyone has to ride their own ride. I spent the past year chasing DH up hills and running trying to catch his draft... and it DID NOT make me a better rider. It made me sore and frustrated and always angry at him.

This season, I told him I am riding my ride and he can ride his. We start out together and if he takes off and drops me, so be it. Funny, he keeps coming back to where I am an joining me ... he doesn't like to ride alone either.

Just food for thought.
