I've recently got a new bike (Trek Emonda SL5 2020), managed to locate my bike fit and adjust the bike to approx measurements of the fit.
I've come to the realization that if I want to exceed 60 miles or do rides days in a row, especially if they include hills, that no bike position is single handedly going to help and I need to increase my core strength and do regular stretches .
I am already doing basic stretches which seem to help my legs recovery quicker, but on the bike I generally get a lot of arse ache, lower back pain and neck, and I feel like the second half of my ride my arms are propping me up as my back is just tired out.
I'm looking for specific stretches that will help me on the bike, perhaps lower back, and back strengthening exercises, things you can do without buying stuff. It's imperative I strengthen my back.
cheers.
