SAG draft

coming out of sioux center, iowa, it was a cold, rainy morning. the rain streaked my glasses, blurring my vision, so i went without. my jacket made me sweat so i ditched it and i figured i'd warm up if i picked up the pace a bit. as the SAG vehicle passed it slowed down so our photographer could take some shots for the banner. when the van sped up again, i seized my chance, clicked it up a gear and was swept away behind the pull of the draft. if any of you have ever surfed or body surfed, drafting is a similar sensation where a surge of power pushes you along with little effort. this picture was taken at 40 mph. i couldn't help but grin.
