I have definitely thought about getting fitted for the bike, and I'm sure they will make some adjustments. However, I think this is a pretty close fit, and it's that I'm just not used to such an aggressive riding position. Nothing hurts, per say, just a bit sore and tired from the effort.<br /><br />Some of it is probably that I took the same route as yesterday, so more climbing. The way home features some nice long climbs as well. I'm going to track my progress with my GPS to see how I'm doing for speed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04438460366604592980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671287074489204913.post-57110446255391829772010-05-17T13:21:21.238-04:002010-05-17T13:21:21.238-04:00Congrats on the new bike, Ben! Love the colors! ...Congrats on the new bike, Ben! Love the colors! As far as not feeling right on the bike (using muscles you haven't used before, being unexpectedly sore, etc.), if you can swing the extra cost, get fitted by a reputable bike fitter. The better ones make sure your own unique body specs line up where they are supposed to over the seat, pedals, etc of your bike. Perhaps you aren't lined up properly and that is why you are feeling sore. FYI, the better fitters will also send you home with your bike/body measurements so it will be easier to get fitted in the future. Good luck, and congrats again! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
