As I said, I've been to a doctor and it's been diagnosed as an ITB issue. He's got a degree so I take his word for it. Otoh, I also have a problem with bursitis.
His advice - rest. A week off the bike didn't seem to do the trick. Pain while riding, after warming up, is tolerable/manageable. What's aggravating is the lingering pain between rides.
In any case, I appreciate the advice and "routines" thus far. I'll work something out given what's been said. Thanks.
