Were you on Strava?

It was actually the first thing which occurred to me when I got home, unfortunately no

Best you create a segment then....

It's the first time the situation has arisen in literally hundreds of journeys up there, plus I'm not sure I'd be able to share it as everyone would know my secret now and it looks like I'm in the doghouse as it is, I feel a flounce coming on

I was under the impression (from the BBC coverage of the Olympics and there end my knowledge of the subject) that any further than a bikes length away from the in front object makes drafting next to useless? and you wouldn't really want to be that close- esp as he probably had no idea you were there!

Never worth a flounce, just smile.

I'm not overly familiar with the Strava layout having never used it, but are we possibly referring to tractor dash?

It's a rediculously dangerous thing to do. Obviously.

Rubbish, drafting is fun and should be encouraged.

Maybe you're just too chicken.

He was behind a tractor, not one of the cycle "jockeys"!

There was absolutely no drafting going on here whatsover whatever the KOM said he might have done

The real danger with drafting apart from sudden braking from the vehicle, is that you do not see the road surface infront of you and if there was a mahoosive crater in the road you wouldn't have the time to avoid it. I am pretty sure Yahuda Moon ended up doing exactly that and it concluded with a trip to A&E.

It's ok. I'll remain a live chicken then. You go for it... I think it's called natural selection?

Certainly are
