September 3, 2023,Ballater ride

Three weeks post-bike fit and I conclude that it's not working for me. I cannot get comfortable at all. The saddle is killing me so 17 miles was hard going and quite painful.

The ride itself was lovely as always. The weather was beautiful, although quite windy at times, with a head wind going towards Ballater.

November 26, 2023,Pootling along - high cadence low heart rate, low speed

New seatpost. Still the saddle is rubbing. Very uncomfortable ride. New crankset arriving this week so we'll see if that helps.
