Sore Stomach/Midsection After Riding?
I've been training about 4-5 days a week for awhile now and I'm just starting to notice this soreness in my midsection (Obliques specifically).
I think my bike might be a tad small and I haven't gotten a prof fit yet, but is this normal?

I've been having this since I started racing and training hard. Now it's gotten worse, a lot of times it almost feels more in my lower gut almost if it was my intestines, I probably should go to the doctor. Maybe in your case it's that you're working out your core for the first time?

Anyone else experience this at some point?

I was surprised how sore my core was when I first started riding last fall. I put in a lot of time at the gym working on my core (and everything else) over the winter and I'm MUCH more comfortable on my bike now.

I came from rock climbing to this sport, I had a rock solid core. Now that I've been cycling for the past year and a half I have lost much of my core strength. I still have a good core but nothing like I had when I was climbing all week long, it's just not possible. I have noticed that when you have a strong core everything physical is made easier. I'm not talking about working out either I mean just everything you do in life. Core is crucial.
