Well, one thing, Becky, is it's HOT down there compared to up here. You had never ridden before when it was below 80.
But that wouldn't be the whole reason for what's going on... I've heard of riders who, after a big ride, don't get on the bike again for a while for some reason, but that's not your case... you're back on the bike!
Maybe you're drinking much less water than you were for a while and your body is reacting to that?
(There...did you see that nasty look she shot me?

)
Check your brakes and make sure they're not rubbing from being transported. Make sure your tires are inflated. And, yeah, your seat does tend to drop....
Other than that, maybe your body is kinda recovering? But I think it's the heat...
