I am an addict !!!

[s7ephanie]

rainy and windey today, but that didnt stop me !!! an hours ride, and i have never felt so alive
only down side is cow poo
also i feel like i am putting too much weight onto my wrists !!! am i supposed to be upright on a hybrid? i tend to lean forward, i think i could do with a saddle that i can put back an inch or two, would that help?

Have you tried loosening your watch strap to compensate for the fat wrists?

Or a minute adjustment perhaps? 'Hours not to reason why...(Maz has got such an abstract sense of humour for an al-fresco piano player.)

It does sound like the seat could be too high. Is it already at its lowest setting?

Shorten the distance between saddle and 'bars
Mudguards deal with "liquids" on the road

From you bike's pic I noticed no mudguards @s7ephanie
You can slide your saddle forward a bit, the nut or allen key fitting should be at the sides.

I used to get covered in cow shoot when I used to commute from my previous house when it was wet. It used to annoy me but I would happily go back to it as the cow crap route had no traffic, and my new one does

I sometimes feel I'm resting too heavily on my wrists, but if I stop and think I can relax my shoulders, bend my arms slightly more and this takes the weight off.
I do have my saddle as far back as it goes too though.
