One of my regular rides is 3.5 hours with about 3000 feet of climbing to the half way point. The ride down from the peak in Estes Park is a lot easier than getting there.
Thanks. Yes, the fitter had me get a Thompson SetBack seatpost which I think is 16mm and it's all the way back, but I'll look for a 25mm. I don't want to mess too much with the saddle fore and aft because ankles, knees and back feel better than before the fit for sure.
