 Harnessing a Virtual Draft
31st 2018 work commute;
Estimating the potential for experiencing a sort of virtual draft, I chose to travel Westbound on Ridge Road for the homeward commute during evening Rush hour.

Harnessing a virtual draft from motor vehicles as I pedaled along the adjacent shoulder with the flow of traffic, worked fairly well counteracting those strong westerly winds on the way home.
