Skatin' Ain't Cyclin' but Draftin' is Still Draftin' Even on Hills! Cycling, Maybe Inline Skating, the Big Hills

Well not much to say here but there was a pretty interesting little piece in VeloNews wherein they attempted to answer whether drafting was a good idea on hills or is it just down to the power of the individual skater...i typed that but i meant...cyclist. The short answer was drafting helps, though less on the ups, but on the ups before the final climb, there's more to it, including some team tactics and psychological factors. I think this is worth a read. It gives me a bit of encouragement to still try to be in and to give a draft on the hills when it doesn't mess up someone's climbing stroke to do so.
