That's much longer than anything I've descended. I look forward to hearing about some good places to ride up in the valley...No One Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902282734965802244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189289378926567244.post-74970481546308219922009-05-19T13:06:00.000-04:002009-05-19T13:06:00.000-04:00As soon as you're done with your work rush, we're ...As soon as you're done with your work rush, we're eager to meet up!Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731815508918636273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189289378926567244.post-4573343050803918992009-05-19T11:16:00.000-04:002009-05-19T11:16:00.000-04:00Glad you're still lovin' it - and even more now! ...Glad you're still lovin' it - and even more now!

I had some trouble on that score with my Giant a couple years ago, which led to chondromalacia (you can read all about it on this blog, just search for chondromalacia). That's when I started working with a pro fitter. He set up my pedals and saddle over the course of months, and that's the set-up I'm more or less duplicating on my new bike, so I should be in good shape.Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731815508918636273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189289378926567244.post-71098151554481467692009-05-18T12:41:00.000-04:002009-05-18T12:41:00.000-04:00Please do not discount the importance of the foot/...Please do not discount the importance of the foot/pedal connection - as small misalignments there grow as they move farther up the leg to the the hips/back.Bilkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901640696746347308noreply@blogger.com
