In a race you want to expend as little energy as possible to keep up, hence you draft. I know I'm stating the obvious but wheelsuckers don't seem to get this point. We all like to go fast but it isn't always conducive to getting a workout. When I have someone pass me that I want to stick with I increase my power to catch up and ride side by side. That will give you the workout you want. (I'm thinking about where I can do that and it is mostly in Prospect and Central Park in NYC. There is plenty of room to do that. It mostly isn't possible on any road with traffic nor on a MUP.)
