Very true mate, saddle position is everything and if something doesn't feel right, it's best to adjust it to suit. 100km you say, that is impressive then mate to do that in under 5 hours with breaks. I upgrade my previous statement from good, to amazing effort.
I was always told to do some upper body strengthening via some weights and the like. I find my arms are getting toned leaning forward on a standing climb holding my weight up. I know your not supposed to lean that far to some extent but I dont want to stress my lower back out.
