Most likely, your core is weak. The bike is actually good core work, but as you say, you've overworked it because you don't ride consistently. The simplest thing to do is buy a copy of
Core Advantage and work out with it for 1/2 hour every morning. Start at the beginning and gradually work through it over a year's time.
I want to believe my core is weak lol. That's simpler to fix than buying a new frame and cheaper too. I was really really exhausted on Sundays ride and hung over as well lol and it l probably wasn't the best day to go riding long distance. This might be chalked up to me using bad judgement. Since I am a rook to drop bar bikes I am quick to blame the bikes fit.
