I took the gravel bike in this morning. That leather hammock-style seat feels pretty hard at first when I'm not wearing biker shorts, but I forgot about it by the time I got to work.

I had a heavy backpack full of stuff: smoothie in a food jar for breakfast, left-overs in a disposable plastic container for lunch, and my bike chain. I'm going to miss riding this bike in a month or two, when it gets too cold for the IGH to function properly.

BobbyG, consider leveling that saddle a bit, and you may not need the pipe insulation on the bar.
