laughlaugh18, your body may be feeling that pea because your bike is too big.

Unfortunately, as we age, bike fit becomes a lot more important. During my 20's and 30's, I never felt anything on any bike but that certainly changed when I hit my 40's. Now everything on the bike has to be dead on.

I also have to get off every 20-30 miles for a break and that becomes imperative on faster, hillier rides. If I don't break, my upper back and neck painfully remind me of my age for hours after the ride is done. Putzin' on the bike is not a problem on a body part; yet.

I'd get a new bike, if I were you. Shopping for new bikes is the best kind of shopping.
