All this has me baffeled.:confused:

He rides a Trek Y Foil 66 time trial bike and I ride a Trek 2000 so he should have an aero advantage over me, although I think I have the tuck down pretty good. He told me twards the end of the ride "man I just can't catch you, I even tried to pedal to catch up and all I was doing is just burning my self up before the next roller". I wasn't even turning the cranks, untill my speed dropped below a certain level on the next hill.
As far as drafting goes. If I'm in back I have to feather my rear brake to keep from running him down. I have even set bolt up right in the saddle to catch as much air as I can and still blow by. If I'm in the front I just keep pulling away while he is spinning. This leaves me in better shape to tackle the next rise also, so it's not such a bad thing if the weight is what is causing me to go faster.
