Cycling - sore right shoulder

Good evening all.
Firstly to introduce myself, I'm Gary, from Derbyshire, and new to the world of triathlon. I got my first bike in March, and did my first duathlon in October.
Since then I haven't done much training until last week due to a holiday. Last week I did a 48 mile ride and yesterday 30 miles. On both rides, my right shoulder (the front part) has started aching and I was wondering if anyone has suffered from this before. Someone has suggested it was a stitch, another has said my saddle might be too high. I lowered it yesterday but was still suffering. Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

but your holding your body upright on your bars for a long time and pushing hard so most blood is going to the legs
this is my un professional opinion lol
never lasts to long tho when i get it
The angle your arms make with your body in your normal position should be about 90 degrees and your arms should be slightly bent all the time. If your reach is longer then your stem might be too long and vica-versa.
Hope that helps
If it doesnt resolve, seek advice from a physio.
