Hi all,
Last week I got out every other day but seemed to be stuck at about 9m max.
This past Sunday was pretty much the same with 9m. Then Monday I hit 18M.
And today I hit 38m. I can see sight of 50m. It's coming together. Need
to keep practicing for consistency. Got a couple questions.
I've been using a lamp post or such to get started. Should I start trying
to freemount now or wait till I've got riding under more control?
When does my butt start to automatically find the sweat spot in the seat?
I'm on a Viscount saddle and I'm still not sure if my body should be pushing
forward or backward in the seat. For what it's worth the seat is adjusted
to be pushed as far forward on the uni post as possible.
This is hard work. After 30 mins or so I'm sweating like a pig. (Do pigs
sweat? I never really noticed.) I've avoided hitting the ground with
anything but my feet in the last week but I have managed to bang my calves
up pretty good. This evening I managed to wedge my left foot between the
crank and the spokes. Bruised and scraped but not enough to stop me from
climbing on again.
Thanks all,
-Cubby
