IndySteel - thanks for your take on Nebo Ridge. I've already decided to visit Johnathan for a full fitting but they want me to get 200 miles on my bike before doing that...
I hear everyone about getting my saddle back up where it belongs - it is just a block that I have - that I must get over. The seat on my Trek gets higher every week - and it is about where it should be. My personal trainer has worked in a lot of core work into my workouts (he is an very active/avid mountain biker). I can't spring more for Pilates or Yoga classes, but will talk with my trainer about extra things I can do to work on core strength.

You do not need a Pilates class unless you have special physical limitations. Joseph Pilates designed his classic/basic mat work so that it could be done anywhere. In his day, all you needed was a towel and enough room to spread out, length and width wise. Today we have the advantage of a much cozier yoga mat.
Just get a book or video and make sure it specifies that it is the "Classic" or "Basic" Mat Work and you should only get the JP designed exercises and not all the yoga/fusion/modern moves.
