To the guy I drafted down Parrs Wood Road tonight - Sorry!

[therams]

At about 5:10 through Rusholme, past Sainsburys and down Parrs wood road. On a black racing bike with full mud guards, not sure what sort.

I was trying to come past to help out, but there was no way I could get up enough speed . In the end I turned off on Fog Lane before you told me to f*** off and help out

You set a good pace though, was knackered when I got home.

That was you?

You made good time to get back to the Mile End Road from Manchester

Ooops someone drafted me.Then caned me (ooer)

I've drafted shameslessly a couple f time this week on the way home into the wind after blasting in in the morninh and feelig a bit weary on the way home

When you;re puffing a bit to hold onto someone strong, passing and leading seems a bit too much like hard work, especially when they're doing so well on their own

I've dragged plenty of people alone this year so no guilt here

Your right, I did not want to upset his training!

Doesn't sound like the bloke I was taking turns with t'other week - lost him when he started filtering through the traffic at the lights near Tescos.

You weren't drafting a lanky fella on a blue Giant recently, by any chance were you, therams?

No not me, this was the first time I have managed to keep pace with someone who looked like a "serious cyclist". I never understood how much easier it was to follow someone until this afternoon.

Keep looking over your shoulder!

Rare that anyone drafts me now as im too slow.

Drafting on a club ride - wasss lovely...until I took over and was a wheezing reck after a few miles.

I consider it poor form to draft bikes. I love drafting big motor vehicles though!
