Today's weather was great. Low 70's winds from the north-west. I definitely felt better today, in terms of my rib ailments. I was able to get out the saddle with less pains. I still can't stay out of the saddle as much as I would like. But it does feel like I'm making progress. The other issue was breathing. I can't take deep breaths yet. Today I was able to go about one or two miles further. Overall, despite the ailments, I felt pretty good. Form and balance felt good today. My legs felt like they were dialed in better. I think the new saddle position is helping. Other ailments consisted of some pains on my inner right thigh. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it has to do with the lower body exercised I did yesterday. I have a slight saddle sore. I used a small Vaseline patch, I hardly felt any discomfort on the ride. Gear is working well. I'm going to receive my new parts tomorrow. Hopefully install them before Thursday's ride.
