Drafting on your road bike is fun! Please start with cyclists you know and are safe riders. Ask them before hand. Look ahead for road debris and anything that may cause the cyclists ahead of you to veer from their course. Practice! You will find it unsafe to be behind some cyclists.
If you don’t know a person or group, ask if you can draft them. Most don’t mind, but some will.
But YES you can learn to draft at your age. Your self confidence will determine how safe you are—to some degree.
Awesome, go for it! There are some women in this forum like Vegasjen or triingtotrain or Dr. Tigerchik (and a few others) who might understand your perspective better than anyone else.
Jump into draft legal triathlons.
