3500k. Cool. Just because I'm having these problems doesn't mean that you are supposed to. Do you wiegh as much as I do? I think the biggest guy in the olympics was 170lbs for the road race. I would like to get down to 220lbs, but how many 220lbs racers do you see?

Also, I'm beginning to thing it's partly do to my clothing. I usually ride in blue jeans to class. The seam comes right up my butt. That may be a problem also. At any rate If I'm having problem like this there is no way I could ride a 400+ mile tour. I'd be in the hospital.

Bent are the only thing I riden that are comfortable. That's all I'm saying.
