Hi Onus, BP,
Thanks for responses. In spite of a having bike-legs already, I'm a bit sore too!

I'll shorten pedal extension which was "tuned" with seat was upright, then seat was reclined moving hips away from pedals. Pedal adjustment will be relatively easy, breaking the tall-gear habit is gonna be very tough - will probably search here for tips.
Kinda curious about your riding in So Cal though you're from Michigan(?)
Thanks/Cheers!
