I met with my instructor yesterday, and the first thing she did was to lower my seat back to where it was before the fitter raised it so high. I will raise it one inch on my next practice session, then 1/4 an inch each session after that until I am back up there.

The session went well - she tells me that I am progressing well - all I need is more time in the saddle. I am not getting enough power in that first pedal stroke - but that is due to how I start So now I really must practice starting properly, and taking one hand off of the bar so I can learn how to signal... Shifting is getting easier too
