Default HOORAY!!! Drafting Buddies!!

My classmates are begining to return to Moscow. I'll be riding with a buddy Saturday!!

I wonder what it will feel like to draft on occasion... Will this hurt my chances of becoming the worlds fattest/fastest time trial rider?

I don't know if it will hurt or help your chances, but if you're as fat as you claim to be, it will certainly help your buddy in time trials after having a behemouth draft off him.

Or do I completely misunderstand drafting?

Having someone drafting off of you doesn't really slow you down at all. It's a benefit to the guy behind but not really a detriment to the guy in front.

The reason you see people getting testy about who is in front more often is because the guy in front is doing all the work and wants others to do their share.
