Hey RATs - I am thinking about Rhode Island 70.3 in July. Has anyone done this event? If so, and if you don't mind answering a few questions about your...
Ck it out, this is live footage from the course. I don't know who this guy is but great shots. Alot of friends said it was terrible and this is just one minute...
Grrrrrrrrrrr. I hate cheating. These guys might as well do HGH, EPO, 'roids too since the drafting actually gives them as big a benefit as all of those....
What else is new. The two years I did that race I would be passed by swarms of people on the bike in huge pelotons. Only one section of road (that little out...
And that is the key. For that same reason (the flat bike course and inadequate numbers of officials), I would avoid Chesapeakeman. Hills are what separate...
That video captures only a brief segment. I would venture to guess there were other groups of riders doing the same thing elsewhere but just not captured on...
 I've only done Eagleman and I've seen lots of large groups but because of the wave starts everyone is more spread out. I'm just curious, I've only seen...

Now that would be an excellent solution! Kind of like those secret radar spots on 95 that can send you a ticket for speeding without a cop ever stopping you! ...
Mike, As a road cyclist and triathlete I really take offense at this kind of cheating. Riding in a peleton like this is just crap. In a real road race, there...
The real issue - besides the pure dishonesty of people - is that a person gains far more than a 4-minute advantage from drafting for 112 miles, but is only...

Never been busted for drafting. And No, I would not penalize the videoed drafters unless all competitors were similarly scrutinized. Concur that race directors...

There is something to be said for being at the back of the pack where this kind of thing doesn't happen too often. If ever. Don't cheat. It's wrong and...
