I'm stoked!

Moved the nose down a little as my second adjustment and put another 15 miles on the bike. This time, there was no tingling in either foot, NO BACK PAIN whatsoever, and the boys seemed content as well. I had a little stiffness in my neck -- like when it feels like you want to crack it but can't seem to crack it -- but other than that, things were good.

I'm sure there will be more tweaking in the days ahead (and especially if I change pedals) but with just two simple adjustments -- sliding the saddle forward a half centimeter and moving the nose down a bit -- it rode a LOT easier.

Even got less hand pain, but that had more to do with reminding myself to relax my hands, and carry some of the weight in my torso. I stopped gripping the handlebar so hard, and just wrapped my hands around it.

I've put 188 miles on the bike in the first 12 days. What a blast!
