Hi,

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ride with flat pedals - though have been wondering about clipless for a while but as they're expensive I may have to wait a while. Not sure if they'd help the leg problem or make it worse?

The pain I get is in the back of my thighs on the outside of the thigh - it seems to develop after 30/40km and then stays there until I get off the bike - so it's not just when i'm pushing hard.

My saddle was set up for me by the bike shop where I bought the bike and they seemed pretty clued up. Maybe I should try adjusting it some more - the difficutly with saddle adjustments is it then takes another long ride to see if it's better or worse!

I'll read the articles and try some saddle adjustment. Perhaps I just need to cycle some more! All suggestions are very much appreciated though - thanks.
