so took the new seat for a 15 miler on saturday, i set it to level and rode off. i should have cut the ride short as by the first mile i knew it wasn't comfortably set up but i was already on the way to the MUP wanted to get a good work out in in the time i allotted. (kids bday party to attend) the ride home from the MUP was almost unbearable and was pedaling only 8mph and mostly coasting.

today i set the seat at my normal angle (nose tilty downy) and it felt good. but yet my wrenching skills and lack of common sense took over. two miles into the ride to the MUP i sat up to ride no hands and my seat "popped back to level". apparently i didn't tighten the bolt good enough. and again instead of learning and going back home, or learning hey take a wrench with you, i just pulled over hit the nose with my hand to point it down. well i hit it too hard and it pointed WAY down. I still hopped on the bike and with the first weight shift it went back to level. but as the knot head i am, i still rode on, but only rode 10 miles. At every stop sign or light i had to dismount then smack the nose down just to get that .5 of a mile before it popped back to level again. but when the seat was nose down for those few minutes it felt pretty good.

....i now realize it doesnt matter the saddle/seat i am a nose tilter downer. two bikes four different saddles and the only comfortable position is tilted down.
