On Wednesday and Friday I ride with a group of guys who used to have to wait on me and now most of the time they don't `

On Saturdays I ride with a group that drops me but not as soon as they used to

and on Sunday I ride with a guy who puts in a lot of slow rides. We ride 60 miles or so and I wait for him at the top of the hills (it didn't used to be that way) All in all I put in about 150 miles a week with some people I enjoy being around and yes part of the secret is drafting but some times when my fast friends come back to get me and pull me up to the group I plead with them to just let me die in peace
