To satisfy a nagging little suspicion, I had my doctor send me the heights they had on file for me for the last three years.
There was no change in that little bit of time, but I'm an inch shorter (about 25mm) than I was in college. I'd thought I was still that height, but I'm not.
Over the past two weeks, I've lowered my saddle height by 10mm. Today, with no carbs for breakfast (just a couple hard-boiled eggs, and the quart-and-a-half of coffee I have every day), I turned in this ride:
Holy bananas; 15.6 average. That about a mile-an-hour faster than any ride I've done recently.
The sample size is too small, of course, and correlation is not cause, but this result is suggestive, nonetheless.
