Whooo! I was worn out after my bike fit/evaluation. I need to get back to the gym and back on my bike.

It went really well, he tested my flexibility (need some work there!), and my core strength (awesome - thank you Pilates!) What surprised me the most, although it shouldn't, is how quickly my cardio fitness has gone down the toilet! I'll be starting off with baby steps, time on the eliptical trainer at the gym, and short bike rides.

Although my core is strong, my upper back/scapular area is quite weak. Also my hip flexors, hamstrings need work, not to mention the butt (no tight a$$ jokes please!) Quads are nice and strong, which is throwing off my pedaling, I'm not using my hamstrings/butt at all. He set me up on a Computrainer, and I could see what muscles I was using to pedal. Cool little item, wish I could afford my own! If I really concentrated, I could use all my muscles, not just the quads, man is my hind end sore today!

He made some tweaks to my saddle position, and raised my handlebars a bit. I'll be sticking with the straight bars for now, don't have the flexibility for drops (I ride a Terry Classic). The biggest change was in my cleats. He adjusted them to compensate for me turning my feet out - I could immediately tell the difference. My knees breathed a huge sigh of relief! I can't wait to get back to my normal leval of fitness and hit the hills!

So, was it worth it? Every penny! I'll probably start training with him once a week at the end of January. He thought that, along with my Pilates, and cardio work would get me back into shape by June.
