--I'm generally not relaxed in my upper body
This may be part of my problem. I'll have to pay attention this evening and see if I am guilty of these two things. I tend to be tense when I am focusing on my cadence or something like that. May not make sense but the harder I focus the more tense or stiff I become. As someone above suggested I do tend to grip the bars tightly and I catch myself doing so and try to loosen them up.
Thanks for the advice, I'll give some of it a try tonight and see how it goes.
