It doesn't matter what sport you play... practice the basics.

As sit bone areas toughen-up and longer rides become the norm it is easy to for get to "bend at the elbows". The basic riding position is a balance where the rider/cyclist is "perched" on the three contact points... pedal, handlebar, and saddle.

Remember to sit up and dangle one or both arms from time to time, and to stand to ride from time to time also. Also remember to sip some water... before you get thirsty as cyclists sweat even in cool weather.
