Endorphine High!!

[Jen72]

I biked 30 miles today! It was the longest distance I've biked in one ride yet. I have sore wrists and a sore tail bone but feel good that in the short time I've been biking I've built up the stamina to ride that long. I stopped just twice to snack for breakfast.

After reading the newbie thread I think I need to get a new saddle. I'm tired of having the sore tailbone. How do you all avoid the sore wrists? I have drop down bars and change position often so I figure it's due to me being overweight and I just have to drop the extra lbs.

Congrats! I love reading these kinds of stories.

but I got back in the saddle and didn't walk

Right on!!!!

How do you all avoid the sore wrists?

Are you bending your wrists much while you ride? Often I find myself beinding my wrists outward, especially on the drops, and that can lead to wrist soreness. But congrats on 30 miles!! How long have you been biking? It's great that you have already built up the stamina to go that far.
