I should preface this post by saying Lake Placid was my first full and first WTC race (race report coming soon) and I'm a MOP athlete (12:36 on Sunday). I was surprised that I didn't see as much drafting as I expected. I think I was only passed by one group of guys that was obviously riding together. It's quite possible they the others were well in front of me. That being said there were tons of people that didn't keep to the right and made passing challenging or dangerous. Lots of them just chilling in the middle of the road, oblivious to people around them.
Is that fairly standard at LP or large races like that? It was quite frustrating, especially during the long descent into Keene.
