Today it rained. I spent most of the day at the bike shop getting my road bike ready for the trip. This means that I had a fitting which is where a bike pro takes alot of measurements and I hop on and off the bike a bunch of times. The goal is to provide the best fit so that the rider can achieve optimal performance.
I tried on 5 different saddles or seats. Some seats have a foam core or gel which provides some cushion. Some seats are wide or narrow. It all depends on what you find comfortable. Then there are the handlebars. I have, what one of my cousins refers to as bullhorns style. The handlebars can have a more aggressive style to them depending on whether or not you want to race. By the end of the day I was properly fitted to my bike with a new seat, handlebars, brakes, gears and with alot of luck my bike will be ready in time. In the meantime, I will continue to use my cyclocross bike.
