LOL. Yes you do! Ain't it great?

No, Hermes, when I say skinny I mean really skinny. I don't think she weighs 95# and he is barely over 120. His race weight used to be 111! By contrast, my 6'3" 183# frame is challenged on the hills to put it mildly. To top it off, I can't drop the guy on the flats, he just tucks into the draft. I was pulling at 700w up a false flat and he blew by me when I had to let up. Then his wife who had been dropped came by me and I was left to smell the flowers on the side of the road. Is that fun or what!
