Bike(s): Developing a damn quivvvvver!
Favorite Trails: Any with dirt!
I have often wondered if it is against The Rules (or potential new rule) to draft cars going downhill in order to maintain top speed.
Desending Montezuma Grade I can catch cars through the corners but need to draft them down the straits.
Most people think its cool (I've been told so) but once, an old lady pulled over to let me go by...she didn't seem happy that I was on her bumper.

I've drafted cars on several occasions, but it really seems to give the driver the willies, for some reason.
