Had installed my Thompson seatpost and my new saddle. Was shipped a gel saddle by mistake rather than the regular SMP saddle. Was hesitant at first since I've had not such great experiences with gel saddles in past, but decided to try it out. WOW, I'm really happy I decided to try it out yesterday on my morning ride on the C&O. This was really comfortable. Also put the seat tube up a bit higher than I used to have. Not too high that I still have a bend at the knee when extended, but my ride really went well and faster yesterday.

Now have a new hub for building a stronger rear wheel, and am about to order new Velocity rims. Current rear wheel is slightly out of true due to a crash I had last month. Realized I needed something stronger. Plus, since my son took over my light set, it meant new lights for me! Oh wait, not for me, but for my hybrid!
