Pain.. riding..

[Roadtrip]

Thanks for all the help!!

• Tires are inflated properly and checked before each ride.
• Derailleurs recently adjusted by the LBS as I was having trouble shifting into the largest gear/cog on the back (bike is 3-4 months old and has less then 100 miles on it)
• Owlie is right, the trail is 'slightly' upward going north and 'slightly' downward' going south... loop trail... but good for the newbie for right now.
• Yes, agreed I need to become skilled at shifting. Six weeks or there about I couldn't even balance and this was only the second time I ventured out on the trail, so yea.. it goes without saying I still have lots to learn.
• Stress/Tension is defiantly an issue (Working on this)
• Not entirely sure what it was my foot was rubbing on, but will pay more attention to my position in the saddle. I know I was all messed up Tuesday trying to deal with the pain and wasn't concentrating 100%

Feeling MUCH better now after a day off yesterday and some TLC and hot compress on my neck seems to have helped a lot. Sunny and 70 degrees outside... making me way to get out and RIDE... but stuck at work.

I'm glad you're feeling better today. Hopefully the weather will hold so you can get back on the bike at the weekend.
