I am definately thinking the climbing takes more out of me (electrolytes/nutrition) as I started to cramp in the same back of leg spot about 38 miles in. Have to work on that.
Test saddle is not working out any better as the chafing is still there. Will have to try another.

Darn dude, my hat is off to you!
There are the doe-er and there are the, the , the, ...............oh nevermind!
Keep doing what you are doing you are on the right track. Somedays are good days and some days are bad days. You keep practicing then you find the good days outweigh the bad days by far. Do this course a few times, you will get stronger and more fit. Then build on that.
Don't push too hard. Sometimes you got to ease up but keep at it. The cramps go away when you develope and get stronger.
