What saddle should I get? (In 20 days I will be taking part in the 42mile 5 boro bike tour in NY)...HELP!!!

Thinking about getting this, but I m open to suggestions


MEN'S: 2123400 Terry Liberator Y Gel Saddle $70
Second the thought of avoing a saddle that is too soft. I use the Fly which is firm comapred to the Liberator. One would think it's not as comfy cause it's firm but not so. I have both he Liberator on my tandem and the FL on my single. I prefer the Fly.

BTW $70!!!!....We paid about $45 at Performance. Website says they are on sale right now for $45. Online prices ar usually inlinewith shop prices if you have one near. Otherwise mention the online price/sale and they will give you the same price. Plus Performance let's you return a saddle within 30 days ( ?/give or take a few days).
