lots of responses! I'm going to try the alphabet thing on my next ride, probably tomorrow. If that doesn't help I really need to call my LBS as I am still having quite a bit of neck/shoulder pain. On the plus side, I did a 35 mile ride on Labor Day! My husband and I went togehter and I even towed our 2 kids in the Burley for 1/2 the ride, so I'm definitely getting stronger. I'm loving cycling - just need to get the pain taken care of.
