your a good man!

get a spare tube, a couple tire levers and a mini pump and no flat will be able to stop you.

the seat never gets more comfortable but your @ss gets firmer and siting hurts less.

though some seats just suck, and being comfortable is key to enjoying the ride.... btw, do you have padded shorts? those are real nice as well ut really not necessary unless your going more han 5 miles.

i have good luck with my @ss on wtb saddles. you could get a cheapo model for like 30 bucks.

i'd recomend this guy here.
