    He gets written up quite a bit in the bike mags.

    I've heard of this guy, around here there's so many cyclists and especially in Boulder. It's really cool that someone it taking bike fit to the next level. When I got my road bike I had it professionally fit for me but not quite like this. It's really important to get your bike fit to your body as it'll save you from a lot of pain later on. I had not idea how many variables there are to fitting a road bike. On a downhill mountain bike it's just not that critical.

    yeah, it seems like in mountain biking in general, it's not as critical. I think it's because we move around so much on all mountain bikes, but on the road bike it's such a steady, constant movement.

    my little road bike has never really fit properly. this year I bought the Ritchey Biomax bars in a 38 (my previous bars were 44 and my shoulders are only 36cm!), and the Saddleco Flow saddle. Both improved the ride A LOT, but I still get too sore for it to be fun.

    We'll be out of town next weekend and will hit a Kelowna bike shop for a road shop fit. That should help a lot. I was really thrilled, though, when DH told me he'd read about this guy and suggested next year a road trip to Colorado to get properly fit!!!! That would be the coolest holiday ever! Especially if there's anyone from Team Estrogen to go for a ride with, once we're there!

    if only we didn't need to work for a living...I'd be there this week!

    Namaste,
