I would be interested in hearing of how, or where others follow trucks. Living down Pokeno way and having to cruise SH 1 &2 coming and going I often end up following container trucks, quite often 3 or 4 in convoy. Thankfully i know the roads reasonably well and know the good passing spots but how do you handle the disturbed air? Have been experimenting and find that attaching the front wheel to their back bumper is the least windy spot, but does not do much for my life expectancy. The biggest draft seems 20 - 40 metres behind them. I find riding 15-20 metres behind them and in the centre, with the odd dab out to the right just to show them I am still there is the best. Any tips?
