Hi Everyone,
Here's a dilemma: I just bought a second R1000. My first one lives with my boyfriend (600 miles away), and I wanted one at home. I bought it from the same shop as the first and got fitted by the guys there. I rode it Saturday and Sunday for 40 miles each day, which was probably over-doing it a bit - I usually ride 35 miles, with a long soda-break in the middle. Both days after the ride, my lower stomach muscles ached. I've never had that happen before - legs, oddly enough, felt fine, except for my Achilles, which I'll ask about in a second. When I was getting fitted, the guy said my form wasn't good, and that I needed to lean forward more, but since this put pressure on the wrong parts of the seat, I didn't really listen to him.
So - what would be 'off' in the fit to cause my lower stomach to hurt?
Also, what kinds of stretches do y'all do before and after a long ride?
Thanks!
