Three Bears

Today Daniel went on a very nice bike ride. I feel like I am finally starting to make friends with my road bike. The first hill was hell.

I don't sit right or work right going uphill somehow - and the first hill is a long long long hill. By the time i was half way up, my lower back was killing me. It felt like a really severe case of menstrual cramps.

I noticed that i felt much better on the downhills, and realized that i was sitting with my tail bone tucked down and that really relieved the pressure on my lower back. As long as i was able to remember to keep my tail tucked I had a very pleasant ride. The stretch along Alhambra Valley Road was by far my favorite.
