This would really do it. If my saddle is for some reason lowered so little as half an inch, my legs start to complain after less than a mile. Riding with a saddle that's too low is sure to cause lots of hurting, and make you really inefficient.

That's good.
--The hills are gradual, but the ride home is pretty much a constant climb. I'm not sure how much downhill I have on the way home, but I do know that it can be measured in yards rather than blocks or miles.
Gear down and SPIN. Take it easy. So what if it takes you a little longer to get home?
