MexicanDragon Posted December 25, 2014 Report Posted December 25, 2014 Reks, riding my road bike always made my back feel better (post-microdysectomy for Cauda Equina Syndrome). It was probably the stretch that I just wasn't getting elsewhere, but started to get better after every ride. Lungs and legs and, well, everything else always hurt, but that's because, well... I'm out of shape. **BRENT**
Mister X Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Considering it was 32° outside, 20 miles was actually rather fun this morning. Turning down the gravel road was a mistake though.
guzziguy Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Jose, are you working up to an around-the-island ride? I just finished my first bicycle ride in years. I'm starting out slowly and maybe went 1.5 mi today. The seat started hurting right away. Hopefully my butt will get used to this kind of abuse. You can see a picture of my new bike
MexicanDragon Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Ken, do you have any bike shorts? You need to get some immediately. **BRENT**

You can see a picture of my new bike Yes, now We are with winter training. I'm working for a tour around the island on April. Also here in Gran Canaria we have the highest mountain pass in Europe: http://ciclored.com/puerto-mas-duro-europa-pico-nieves/ Next year (if I have a good feeling on November) I want to try climb it. 2
guzziguy Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 @Brent. I have a pair of Pearl Izumi riding shorts that I typically where when riding motorcycles, especially in the dirt. I couldn't find them for the ride. I was finally able to locate them today and will wear them for tomorrow's ride. @Jose. Enjoy your rides and good luck with the April ride and your eventual assault on the pass.
Mister X Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 I'm starting out slowly and maybe went 1.5 mi today. The seat started hurting right away. Is the saddle to narrow? Here's a video on how to check.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7j9LUVJrjA
guzziguy Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 It's the stock saddle on a new bike, so it's very possible that it doesn't fit well. Of course, it's just as possible that my old butt just isn't used to riding a bicycle. I'll use the linked video guide to see if mine is too narrow. Thanks for the tip.

Pars Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Hehe. Second, multiple bicycle ownership of the same type of bicycle invariably creates what is known as a mutual parting reaction. The MPA occurs when broken parts on one bike are replaced with functioning parts on the unbroken bike, eventually resulting in two bicycles, neither of which works. What is this "broken parts" he speaks of? I'm not sure I've ever experienced this...
guzziguy Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Second ride today, about twice as far as the first ride. I wore bike and mountain shorts. That gave me double padding. It felt a lot better today. I haven't had time to get some chalk to measure seat bone width, but I'll do it soon.
cetoole Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Sitting on aluminum foil worked best for me.
nikongod Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Even if the saddle is a good fit, your butt may need some time to get used to it. This is also important to remember if you spend a good deal of time off the bike. The saddle that felt awesome all last summer/fall and now feels like bad after a lazy winter feels like bad because your butt is no longer used to it.

The saddle that felt awesome all last summer/fall and now feels like bad after a lazy winter feels like bad because your butt is no longer used to it. This, 100%. Every year I have to allow for time for my ass to get re-accustomed to the seat. The first few rides are painful but you'll (re)adjust to a seat that fits well quickly.
Dreadhead Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 ^ Yup or weight gains too. After my CF of a holidays I'm up another 15 lbs and now I'm the heaviest I've been in 4/5 years. That ends now, though working out is going to have to wait until I can walk without the aid of prescription painkillers.
