Thanks for all the feedback. 24 hour hold is over. Guess I have to be very selective on what/when I post.
Definitely going to monitor my positioning on my MTB. Yes, I have straight bars but will look into getting an add-on or completely different bars since the bike is primarily going to be used on a paved trail that just opened up near my home. It used to be old railroad tracks and now is a great trail through the middle of town. Not sure how long it goes but probably 20+ miles from end to end. Just need to stop at intersections which gets a bit tedious. I'm 53 years old and in decent shape but have had three lumbar spine surgeries in the last 7 years. Need to ease back into biking. If my body does not fail, I will most likely buy a road bike. There is a Play-Tri store in my town that I have yet to visit. Cervelo and BMC have models that seem to catch me eye at the moment.
