I drafted off him all the way to the gate, about 2 miles, hitting 40 mph on a down hill and 28 mph across the flats (where I normally run about 18-20). All this from an almost old guy who turns 61 tomorrow, on my Trek 520, with my bright yellow Ortleib panniers sticking out in the wind. Made my day.
