I went out for a 16 mile ride yesterday, it was a bit colder and wetter than on Saturday, and I was riding with a "fast" group" from our LBS. They slowed way down, I pedaled like crazy to keep up. Actually wasn't too bad, the guys were very nice to me, I rode about 8 miles with them and then they went on their way. I managed an avg speed of 15.8. whew my fastest ride yet. I tried to be relaxed on this ride and not stiffen up, I think it worked cause wasn't as sore after this ride. I will try riding for awhile and if my elbows still give me problems I will check with the LBS about adjustments. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
