About an hour five on the trainer tonight with a good hard effort of about 20 minutes. The new saddle angle felt pretty good. After testing out the new position for the first few minutes I also decided to drop the saddle a few mm's. After one ride I felt comfortable and more balanced. The lower saddle position helped with a feeling of more power, too. I'll no more when I actually get on the road.
