I won't get within three bike lengths of the back wheel of a rider I don't know. If I set out to do the ride, I set out knowing I can absolutely do it on my own. Any draft I encounter on the way is a bonus and nothing more.
I've had strangers draft off of me before, sometimes for miles. I don't care. I'm big and I knock a lot of air out of the way. They're not slowing me down, they're assuming all the risk, and I'd personally rather not have them in front of me.
