30 miles today on the D&R trail along the Delaware river. Felt a bit of a pain on top of my head and then realized it was the cold air coming in through the vents.

Here's a question for ya. I've been mtn biking for years. Go out pretty often anywhere between 3-6 times a week during season and usually 1-2 off season (as long as there isn't that much more than 2-3 inches of snow on the ground).
I've recently started road biking. I'll go out and do 25-35 miles on the road, keeping an avg pace of about 15 with some decent hills involved. I'm much more tired from road riding than mtn riding and with more lower back stiffness. Today, I was only riding for 1:38 hours did about 25 miles at 15.2 mph. I'm Pooped. I could be out in the woods for 2.5 hours sometimes and don't feel as tired...what gives?

Could be any number of things. My guesses would be:
1. Since you say your back hurts, you bike is either not sized right, or not adjusted right. I found that the seat hieght of the seat being off by a 1/4" makes a big difference. Same holds true for handle bars.
2. Riding a road bike may just be boring for you as compared to a mountain bike.
My guess is that it's the first. But also keep in mind that with everything properly adjusted, it may take awhile for you to get used to riding a road bike. How many miles have you ridden this season? How often?

I really just got the bike like 2 weeks ago. I did some road riding earlier this summer out at the shore.did about 40 miles out there with a group...doing 17.5-19.5...with no hills..we were at the beach.
With the new bike, i've done about 3 rides 25-35 miles each. I think its sized right...could use some adjusting. The LBS guy has my stem in a raised position and the bars a bit on the higher side to help me get used to the road. I think i'm just not that used to be in one position for so long, esp being bent over riding. ?

I would say that's a fair assumption. It usually takes me awhile to get used to it after not riding for an extended time.

What kind of light do you have skiquattro? You Helmet mount, yes?
I was out this morning on the trails in the local woods before work for about an hour. Usually get in some more time out there but had to be somewhere a bit earlier than my usual. Wetter than I thought, but these woods drain pretty well overall.

Now shouldn't that have gone into the gear forum ?
Actually we've decided to keep all bike related stuff in here since there's not that mut traffic anyway...
Any more questions??
Now back to your regularly scheduled bike log....
I MTB'd for about an hour after work on Wed after work. It's getting hard to get a ride in before the light goes away (no light)....
