Yeah, my gameplan once I realized what was going on was to start the ride in a smaller gear to get out front fast and as the lead meatheads came by I would grab a wheel and hold on. It works better than any other scenario but I am always sucking wheel the entire time and would like to actually feel what the front feels like again for a change. It used to be us little guys working together holding it down up front but apparently I was absent the day that the juiceman made his delievery and got left behind.
