Two years ago on a windy day in March or April, I was struggling to keep a good pace when this team guy in full kit came up alongside me. He offered to pull me. I jumped at that, sucked his wheel for about 15 miles.
Usually though, I would have take a pass. I hate drafting. I don't like the view. But, when there is a 20 mph headwind, I'll be awfully flexible.
