I'm looking into those saddle recommendations.

Today I rode 22 miles and was very proud of myself as it was a first. I'm alternating my rides with paddling my new kayak to sort of balance things out as far as sore arms or sore knees!

One of the "bike sons" was here and adjusted my handlebars lower so I won't sit so upright. I think that will help with how I sit so I'm going to try that for a few rides and see if it makes a big difference on the saddle.

As soon as I get that kayak paid off I'll be shopping for a road bike! I'm 5'5" and weigh 190 so I better look for something sturdy. I've lost 14 lbs thus far and am hoping that this combination of biking and kayaking will be the path to better health.
