The Low Drag plan copied from the HSLD message board.
We have a great core for both teams Thursday. Low Drag is letting High Speed borrow our Capt. (Roy) for the day. We'll be watching closely and expect to get him back exhausted but not dead after the race. Meanwhile, Low Drag is relishing the chance to tackle this course. We only have four riders, but we don't need any more stinking riders. We got this!
The lead-in to the lap counter will be fast. At the lap counter, we will communicate the power-ups gained and then activate them to benefit the team speed as a whole. The climb to the rope bridge will be brisk using a rotation based on the feel at the time. We have no fear of the teeny-tiny steep incline up the back side of the Rope Bridge. Our heavier riders will enter the bridge first and actively generate speed on the downhill. Our other two riders will stay back and time the climb so that they provide a boost just as the front is losing momentum up the climb. They will not fly by. They will stay bunched to the top. This might take a practice round or two but we should have this technique perfected by the last lap. At the top Low Drag recovers all the way to the intersection that leaves the loop. Then we will pick up the pace just as we did during the lead in. When we hit the lap counter we wash, rinse, and repeat. We will do this two more times. No social distancing here. We want a glob that would make Sturgis bikers proud. Remember, 4 riders means its the 3rd rider across the finish not the fourth for the official time. Expect to finish with all four riders and the best placement yet.
