As a group newbie, 2 thoughts came to mind immediately (actually 3- the first was "you can tell a difference?!) I have a rear rack for commuting, perhaps it is disrupting airflow and that's why the complaints. The second is that I am not holding a good line and wander side to side too much.
Input? Have you noticed different draft off other riders in groups? I'll try to pay more attention if I join this weekend.
Thanks.
Kind of sucks that you have to post on BF about this instead of someone in the group you were riding with giving you tips and pointers. Heck, even if they yelled at you to do things right you would learn more than having them talk about you behind your back like a bunch of to-cool-for-school 5th graders.
