How to sit the saddle

[sashadieken]

Yes, I raised the seat height myself about the middle of last week. I did check the leg position and it seems about right. The pain in my knees only lasted a few hours and is completely gone today, even after 2 hours in the kayak.

I'm found out: yes, I'm a shopper! I love imagining myself on different bikes I feel like a new person with all sorts of possibilities in front of me, although I'd better be realistic at my age (65). It all started with clean eating, which I've been fine tuning over the last year. When I began to feel better and have less general pain it became easier to move around and our daily dog walks became more enjoyable. Then I started with the bike, and now the kayak.

I can see myself on a mountain bike, which I haven't ridden for the last 10 years at least. I can imagine myself climbing another Oregon volcano, when the last one was about 10 years ago.

The doctor is encouraging me to go on statins for high cholesterol, but one of the side effects is muscle pain and I can't afford that if I want to continue my activity. I lowered my number by 50 points in the last 3 months so I'm going to hold out for another 3 months and see what I can do!
