[MENTION=86492]tarwheel[/MENTION] we got the rain before you yesterday but I drove as well thinking that it was going to be a bad day for riding. Storms did not come until later as well. My son called them "summer" storms instead of Thunderstorms yesterday. It was pretty funny.

Second riding day this week. Temps were around 68F and humidity was much less. I averaged 16.9 mph this morning. I am not sure why I keep trying to go faster and faster. My legs get sore when I do.

first ride with the new saddle. I was kinda concerned when I rode around the neighborhood after installing Wednesday. It felt harsh and not too comfortable without bike shorts. I was not sure I was going to like it, but with bibshorts it felt good. It is very grippy and I found that I had to pick myself up to reposition instead of just sliding a little bit. It is lighter than my old saddle and even my road bikes saddle.
