It’s especially nice when the person in front pulling is super huge. I’m not a big guy but every now and then on the trail, some big dude will pass me (just because he’s feeling frisky) and decide that he’ll try to drop me. That feeling of “no swooshy air” around me is addictive but it doesn’t last long. For the most part, we end up taking turns at the front pulling to save energy. Sometimes they want to be up front and pull all the way….so I just let them.

I think I should get a jersey that says “Please pull me”. :rolleyes:

Or “Pull my finger”. Oh did I just post that?

Tim, I agree.

I try to do laps at HP at least twice each week during my “long ride” days. Now that my legs and lungs have gotten stronger I can actually do 15-20 minutes at 15mph, which is a real improvement for me. Still, I’m trying to get to the point where I can keep a 20mph pace for 30 minutes there but I know that’s going to take some time.

Ha! I had that happen the other day when I was riding laps there. Dude didn’t hang behind me too long, I guess my 15mph pace wasn’t to his liking. I’m the VERY large dude on a Cross Check wearing white.
