Congratulations on being bit by the biking bug!
Thanks, Goldfinch. I made the recommended changes to the seat and that definitely improved things, but you have a really valid point about core. I'm crushing my wrists because I don't have the core to hold myself up consistently. To the yoga mat I go. Guess I'll dust off the pilates dvd's too.
