new pain appears to have sprung up on today's ride, about an inch up and an inch to the left of the tail bone.  a sort of knobbly bit of bone there, seems to be painful when I bend forwards now.

what is it and how do I get rid?

that's the sacrum. the sacrum joins the pelvis via the sacroilliac joint or SI joint for short. S for sacrum and I for Illium (latin for pelvis). I really hope you haven't developed some sort SI pain 'cause it's horrendous. What else have you been doing other than cycling!?!? I sprained my SI ligaments a while ago, I believe it was caused by over doing things and not giving myself enough rest, my pelvis became tilted after sleeping twisted which led to it happening.

I thought this was going to be about French bread.

I'm getting over exactly this now with a physio.   Some local dry needling once a week and a Pilates based "touch your toes' stretch 3 times a week to realign things.

ah ffs.  yep I'm a bit lop sided.  hurts twisting too.  touching toes is still possible just uncomfortable.  was making me want to sit down on the bike and stick my butt out curving lower spine to give some relief.

not really overdoing it.  well maybe I'm trying a bit to hard on rides when I know I'm out of shape.  oh and recently been upping the mileage on the tt bike to 50milers....
