Not sure that doing the 130miler on the saturday is the best idea, but hey ho – in for a penny…
i know what you mean. Just covered 200miles in past 2 days getting ready for this weekend, and with the rain and wind yesterday and the wind today it was tough. I'm hoping to sit in the pack for some of it and keep fresher legs for when it splits. Anyone any idea how many are doing the saturday 130 mile ride??
On another note, after reading some advise on here regarding seatpost height (guy with the pic of him sitting on his bike), i lowered my post by about 25mm. Now, i'm used to having it quite high up for the mtb so naturally when i got a road bike last year did the same. This led to me never feeling right in the drops and it causing alot of pain so i just put it down to needing to practise more. Well, dropping my seat this amount has cured so many problems. I can use the drops for miles upon miles now, still have the same power output but get less cramp and in general feel more comfortable on the bike
SO STW massive, good advise, good work
