Bexter is fast I won't deny that!

According to my bike computer, I averaged 6.3mph riding with Becky. In the afternoon after making adjustments I averaged 8.2mph, in 2 inches of snow. Maybe the snow helped? lol

Before I made the adjustments I had some serious pain in my left knee and I needed to stop at least every 2 miles to let it subside. After adjustments, the knee pain didn't come back and I was able to ride the whole 9 miles with one break just to get Kyla's goggles from the car (started to snow a lil bit heavier at the time).

It appears that not having enough weight on the handlebars can contribute to pain in the knees and/or leg muscles. Has anyone else ever experienced this problem? Should I leave these questions to mtbr?

Knee pain normally stems from improper saddle adjustment. If you like some pointers I'd read the posts I made here: http://www.qcforc.org/showthread.php...t-thread/page2

And no, I wouldn't leave any questions to mtbr. Way too many opinions by way too many people who post more than they ride... in my opinion that is.

I went for a 10 mile ride around Credit Island today since the trails are soggy. Gave me a chance to fiddle with seat position. The height was right but it needed to be slid back a bit. Now I've got my tuberosities in the right place and feel like I'm getting max power on the down stroke. It seems to be most noticeable when riding in a high gear and trying to maintain speed.
