I was right about that saddle
Hello.
Just a year or so ago I was markedly and reliably faster on road cycling routes where I live.
My average speed was usually 16.5, 17, and 18 mph over 20, 30, 40+ mile rides.
I have had two operations in the past 18 months with a month or two out of action.
I need to lose a little weight, but not alot, and i'm over 50 but I really wan't to try and get my speed up.
I do about 100 miles a week, all year round, commuting and a longer ride at weekends, with a few lumps.
My bike is light enough, 8.5-9KG.
I have been using a turbo trainer in winter with Zwift and so of the workouts are pretty good.
I have a speedo/gps on the bars.
I get quite a bit of pain in my legs if I push too hard, so I tend to stay under the pain threshold as much as possible.
I need to figure out a plan of action to try and get some more pace.
Ideas and advice welcome.
PS, I currently just about manage 15 mph average most of the time
