Headed out for a ride on Sunday - just a very short one and chickened out of my usual routes by staying in the local park for most it! It was surprisingly comfortable, with padded shorts I might add! I don't normally bother with them but I needed them for this saddle. I quickly felt confident on it but I must have small hands as I struggled to brake when holding handlebars up near the brake hoods. My hands need to get used to the new riding position, I get that, but I didn't always feel I could get a good purchase on the lever. Any advice on this would be useful! I think the cables and stuff need to bed in a bit and I'm going to see my LBS to check my position and give the bike a once over too. I trust them!! I finished my ride by venturing onto the roads nearby as my confidence was improving and I was pleased with that. Another ride beckons this weekend (weather permitting...!)
