Scoosh, Tele,
Thank you so much for the advice regarding seat height. I had a look throughout CycleChat, as well as a brief Google, and I think you guys might be onto something. I'm away from home atm, but I've just watched a few Youtubes explaining how to amend saddle heights and will have a go of changing it round tomorrow.
I haven't cycled today, but I did swim for the first time in over 10 years. I missed swimming very much and am hoping to make use of both activities in my quest to one day be able to touch my toes.
Crisscross, thanks so much for the support mate. I'm not far from a nice enough stretch of the Leeds Liverpool, I've been planning for a while to have a ride along it when I build my stamina up a little.
Thelma, are you enjoying it mate? I do hope so. Your post in this section of the forum really made me smile, I love that you're hiding from your sports-dad!
