Even when racing I would spend a fair time on the tops and hoods. It was some years later that I had a spell of neck pain, and I can certainly recall hunched shoulders as mentioned above. This was always brought on by riding harder and longer than I was accustomed to at that time.samsbike wrote:It was the longest I have been on a bike in one sitting, approximately 5 and 4.5hrs.
