I’m back. After my last fit session, I rode several times with my new saddle, new pedals and new position.

I thought that I had plateaued and really wasn’t making any improvements. I decided to take a few weeks off the bike; the decision was partially my own, and partially dictated by my schedule — final exams were coming up and I really had no time to do anything but grade my students’ work.

I’m back.
