Yes usually with me it is sore sit bones. This year some lower back soreness , which luckily is easing with each ride, so I'm grateful for that....think it may have had something to do with crushed L1 vertebra late last Sept. Until a couple of weeks ago, I was walking (which I do in winter) and not riding. I don't remember lower back pain so much in prior springs unless it's a longer day in the saddle than usual , then my back might complain a bit
In your case , Roberta it could be a fit issue , not necessarily a fitness issue :) Anyway, nice bike and I like the magenta or fuschia or whatever ya call it bar tape On Monday, April 17, 2017 at 12:49:57 PM UTC-5, Belopsky wrote: > > Is it normal?
