Hi, everyone! I had the bike adjusted at LBS on Thursday. Stem and hoods were both moved just about 1 cm higher/closer. What a difference a cm can make! Elbow pain is gone! So is the mild burning between the shoulder blades!

Absolutely, no locked elbows here. I know better than that. I've been weight training for years and know locked joints are never a good thing.

Core strengthening -- we could all use more of it. I do a lot of ab work at the gym. I don't do Pilates or yoga, mainly because they don't do classes t the gym I go to, and I'd have to find extra time to sign up for a class. Single Mom, two teens, job ... time is at a premium!!

You guys are great. Keep the tips coming.
