Folsom Canal, 44.5 miles. QuestXS (foothole covers, hood w/shield). N-30.5, S-23.4, N-30.5, S-23.4, N-30.0, S-23.5. Windy and rain. I reset the upper angle on the seat, opening it up. It's a much freer breathing position now. I had to eliminate the stock upper seat bracket and make one to allow the top of the seat to go back (the main seat angle remains the same). My neck is now against the rear of the cockpit opening. I may trim the edge in that area but then again even if I have my chin pressed into my chest it doesn't seem to impede breathing. I'll see how it goes on a higher output day. 1499 miles YTD.
