Got drafted last Sunday evening while driving downhill on Topanga Canyon towards PCH, south of town.
Holy shit!!! He's 2 feet from my bumper and I must be doing 30 MPH!!!
OK, _dont_ panic. Just KEEP DRIVING, steady as she goes.
Just like in Ridazz, HOLD YOUR LINE.
OK, I hold my line, can do. Steady pace, let what cars might be further in front get more so. Roll for a while. "Jackson, look, there's a cyclist drafting us!" "WHOA!" says Jackson but I don't.
Goes on for a minute or so. Then I speed up a little and he pulls off. Whew.

Sounded kind of hefty, but I shouldn't be talking.
The terminal managers get a little pissed off when I practice behind some of the company trucks.
Once tried it on the recumbent, but there was still resistance coming from underneath.
