Adam, lots of helpful remedies offered here. I hope you'll figure out which ones are most beneficial for you. Once you do that being consistent is essential. For me, at 75, yoga three times a week, at least three walks ranging from 2-4 miles each and the recent addition of monthly massages are all helping me remain fairly flexible (somewhat less so than five years ago). I have to get better with strength training though!
My bikes, one being a Hillborne, have drop bars with the saddle/bar height like yours. Currently my rides go from 10-40 miles. Best of luck to you. - Rich in ATL On Friday, January 3, 2025 at 8:04:39 PM UTC-5 Adam wrote: > Thanks all. > > I can post a mediocre pic of my setup here, but the angles are probably > too skewed to give a accurate sense of positioning.
