I've been really looking forward to this for ages, and brought my bike up to my parents' house to get some miles in and everything. But in doing so I think I've uncovered a problem that may cause me to have to wet the bed on this.
There's something wrong either with my riding position (or more likely) with my body, which meant that after a 56-mile ride today my back was in serious pain, and it still doesn't feel right now. In the wake of the nasty spasm/twist/feeling like I was permanently gnarled thing I had a few months back I think it would be best to hold off 50 mile + rides until I've got to the bottom of it.
Even the wind and rain wouldn't have put me off, I've been out in that all week. I'm not completely out yet, but 90%.
:(
