So i just got done riding 23.2 miles..yes the .2 makes a difference! lol. My concern is  when i got to mile 10 my neck was really hurting. Is this normal and just takes time to build up or could it possibly be from the bike. Also i got of the bike and stood up and it was like somebody had just stabbed me in the back. I just felt a rip in my lower back all the way up. I know part of the reason is just being bent over all the time but does anybody else have this problem? Or am i just a panzy and need to suck it up?

Thanks.

Some of it may be bike fitness but severe pain like it sounds like you're having is likely bike fit issues.  Have you been fitted?

Neck soreness from keeping your head up while in aero can be normal as long as it becomes less and less as you bike more and your fitness grows, however I would think any back pain could be due to your fit, especially if its a stabbing pain. Definately reevaluate your fit if the pain continues.

For sure I would say you just need to work on your neck strength by riding more.

Definitely go get a fit!  I have a bike that was given to me as well and am much more comfortable post professional fit.

You can alleviate some of the pain by lying on tennis balls. Get fitted and in shape.
