Biking Log: Bike Fitting + 10 miles at Miramar Lake

I had an appointment at my local bike shop (Trek Bicycle Superstore) to get me fit it on the bike. I got there earlier so they can make an adjustment to my front gear shifting issue.

Rob was the person who help me fit properly on my bike. I mentioned to him about the neck pain, knee pain and hand numbness . After riding on the indoor trainer for a while, he pointed out that my seat was way too high which will be the cause to my knee pain during riding. He also made several adjust to the handle bar and the height of it by replacement the stern with a longer and higher one. Rob also provide several good tip of good riding posture and hand position. A hour later, I feel like I have a much more comfortable riding position on the bike and it was definitely a good idea to get a professional to fit you on the road bike.

After finishing the bike fit, I decide to go for ride at Miramar Lake. Six miles into the ride, my left knee pain gotten worse and worse. I finish the loop and head back to car. I'm not sure whether the knee pain from Saturday is getting worse by riding today or the new bike setting is still causing the knee pain and might be making it worse even. I don't plan to do any more riding for the next 2 days. I do have plan to ride with James @ silver strand this Thursday. Hopefully the knee pain won't re-occur then.

BTW, I would recommend anyone who wants to purchase a decent road/mountain bike to purchase from Trek Bicycle Superstore to any other local bike shops to offer FREE lifetime adjustment. Last time, my local bicycle shop have replaced the damage rear derailleur and only charge for the part and no labor cost. They have also made several adjustment like correct a bent handle bar, re-tape my handlebar, adjust front/rear shifting issue all for FREE.
