But heck, I'm sure having fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pascale -- tail bone rather than sit bones... That may change now, though you'll need some time to feel better first! I had tail bone problems too, for a while, until I got rid of that comfort saddle they put on our beasts! It was a few days after I wasn't sitting on it anymore that it was okay to be on my butt again, so you'll get better now! (I won't promise, since you could have different results!)

And knees -- gosh, that sounds SO familiar! The 5-10 rides are no problem, but when I get going for longer distances, it's not that they hurt, but I know they're there by the time I'm done, and then stairs.... You got that right! I was thinking it's a muscle thing, until I unwillingly gave the muscles a week to rest (bike in Boise, Karen several hours west of Boise). Came back, and they started right in again... After two months of at least four days a week, they should be over that nonsense, unless I'm challenging myself significantly more and more each week????
