Jose:
Thank you for getting me dialed in on my bike fit.
About four years ago I was riding as much as 6,000 miles per year,
was in
pretty good shape but I was forced to take a year off. Three years
ago I
was able to start riding again. I knew that regaining fitness was
going to
be a challenge but I was not prepared for the intense pain that I
was
experiencing.
I suffer from limited mobility and chronic back problems. I expect
a
little discomfort while riding. I was training hard and long but
still
couldn't improve my endurance and speed. During a ride it was hard
work to
stay on the bike and to find a comfortable position. Further, rides
longer
than 50 miles just would beat me to a pulp. The pain was so bad that
I would
have to ice my back, knees and shoulders after each long ride.
Until we got together again I had almost given up hope of ever
getting back
to form.
At first I was skeptical that you could help me. You must have seen
something in those pre rides leading up to the fitting to convince
you that
deep down there was a bike rider who needed a hand.
Your depth of knowledge and ease in communication made the bike
fitting a
wonderful. Your logical and methodical approach made me feel
comfortable.
No question from me was to dumb and each step in the process was
explained
and answered in great detail.
Because of your work riding has become fun and pain free again. The
bad
habits and stress have disappeared. I no longer need to ice my back
down
after rides. I can ride farther at one time than I have in years and
I have
energy after workouts. Many who ride with me notice the difference
as well.
(Much to their dismay!)
The process has been truly amazing experience.
Please except my deepest gratitude for taking the time and patience
to help
me.
Warm Regards
Dave Brooks
