So I took my vision out for a touch 76 mile ride this weekend, half on limestone trail, other half on highway in headwind.
In some ways it was not so bad, but I have to admit I was getting uncomfortable.
About 60 miles in I was really starting to hurt but I soldiered on. IN fact I made two very short stops on the entire return route which may be why I was hurting so much.
When I got home and got off the bike, I literaly couldn't get up the stairs, my rear felt like I had landed on it from 10 feet in the air, it was so sore and numb. my knees and feet had a real bad "deep" ache, but were otherwise OK.
I think the fact that I was stuck in the same position for so long was the cause. This was the farthest I've riden the bent. I do have to admit that for the first 55 miles it was very comfortable.
While I like the bent I perfer being able to move around and stand up on a DF bike. Maye I just need more miles on the bent.
