My husband and I also took a new route today. Lots of hills but we chugged along for about 17 miles. It was my first time on my Trek 7200 after months of commuting on my electric bike. Everything was perfect -- temps in the 70s to low 80s, beautiful clear blue skies, great roads, great breakfast -- but my butt was as sore as it has ever been. Even though I'm still not completely comfortable on my Brooks, I wish I had moved it over to the Trek for today's ride. I'm afraid the Terry Liberator will no longer do.
