I do realize that it will take time and regular riding to get my body accustomed to new cycling positions.
Interestingly, my legs & glutes are never sore, even after my longest rides. I suspect it's all the running I've done over the last couple of years.
This is me, too. As I start increasing my mileage in the Spring I usually feel it a bit in my neck and shoulders, but it isn't long before those muscles become accustomed to the riding posture. I've been running for >5 years and the only time my legs have really felt it from riding is after really long rides with lots of hills.
