I'm riding long distance fixed rides (48-18 with two brakes) reasonably regularly. Here's an average weeks riding:
I've been doing similar mileage geared for a few years so am used to the time in saddle/distances.
Since stepping up the weekend rides i've developed lower back pain (usually on my hip bone sits a knot) as well as more recently pain in my glutes. As well as dull aching pain it feels like I can never stretch it out quite enough.
Stretching my hammies and glutes twice a day seems to help.
Is there anything else I can do to try and alleviate the discomfort in the first place?
