Today I went out for only my fourth ride and when down on the drops constantly for about 4 miles at a time I was getting a really really painful lower back; so much so I had to stop and stand up for a minute to get the pain to subside. I don't notice it when it's stop start riding.
Is this normal and my body will just get used to the position, or is there something I should be doing? I did raise my saddle a little which improved my ride considerably other than the back pain so I don't know if changing that was wrong. It's set so that my leg is almost locked when the pedal is at its lowest point.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
