The five distinct ingredients of body position. Number 1 and 5 are linked together for me. Putting on my adjustable levers asap so I have a better wrist position, finding the right rearsets (Lightech is supposed to be top notch, has oodles of adjustment options, is compatible with the ABS, and is cheaper than Vortex) so my lower body is more comfortable and locked on to the bike, and getting back to a workout routine after being lazy since Christmas. All of that will help with number 4, mastering the core skills of riding well.

I have had way too much time to think and read these last two weeks....

Sounds like you have lots to work on too!
