I'm riding my first century in a week. The Reston century. I ride a Cannandale CAAD 8 with the standard road racing seat (aka "ass hatchet"). I am fine on the seat for my 30 mile group rides, but I have not riden further than that. I have a Brooks B-17 that I broke-in on my mountain bike that I converted into a commuter. With a week before the century, should I stay with the narrow seat or switch out to the Brook B-17? I can get in a 2-3 more moderate rides before the century. what do you think.
