Sore tired Neck muscles when descending with drop bars
I have a bike and to the best of my knowledge the fit is pretty dialed in. Its a drop bar touring bike. It feels comfortable on the flat in any of the positions or on climbs. However If I am descending I need to tilt my head back and up so that I can see forward as you can imagine otherwise I'd be looking down at the front wheel. The back of my neck gets very tired after a minute of this and its really a lot of effort to hold my head back like that. Its strenuous so that flying down hills isn't much fun and actually more of an ordeal.
Is this something I need to just let my body get used to / develop strength there ?
The obvious answer is to rise the handle bar up and in closer to the body but i like the bar at the height it is at ( about 2 inch below saddle height) and any higher and the bike starts to feel very pedestrian.
Any thoughts?
