Hi. I'm a "returning" cyclist (of a certain age!), not having ridden much for the last 10 years. I've recently found this forum and the information is very useful. However I would really appreciate some specific advice.
I've been considering buying a bike for some time and have done a fair bit of homework around this. Last week I did my first ride whilst staying with my brother. It was an easy trail ride of about 7 miles but I was using my niece's bike and the saddle was really uncomfortable. (She later admitted that she only ever rides standing up!). I was very sore for the next couple of days. Having got home I've finally committed to a bike and took it out yesterday for a gentle run in. I was aware of still being sore from the previous week but thought I should work through it - feel the pain! Today I intended to go further but but I am so sensitive this morning I don't know whether to give the sore parts a break or whether I should continue.
Any advice would be very welcome.
With thanks in anticipation!
