Riding with weights

My take on your question is that you are trying to mimic the demands of climbing....without climbing.?

Just the opposite. I'm *not* trying to mimic the demands of climbing... but would be climbing anyway. 😉

A parachute would be a good solution on the flats (of which there are also very few of sufficient length here) because of the higher speed, but on a hill, weight plays the same role as aero drag would on the flats. See?

Make a mountain out of a mole hill?🙂 The chute might work as long as it didnt wind up around your Powertap

hmmm....that would be interesting to draft behind the chute 😄

I have an idea

You use the chute, I will work on my drafting techniques (lazy as I am) as long as you give me a clue just before I hit something. 🙂

Chocolate glazed doughnuts are my favorite.... 😄

Hmmmmmmm, donuts! Kruller's are my favorite.

I had a Bat Chute on my Sting-Ray as a kid. Caught a lot of [censored] for it too. 😠 I'm not doing that anymore.

If you were drafting behind me with a parachute youd be going slow enough to eat all frenchies and Doc Ms doughnuts while you were riding. I have officially killed another thread!!
