I'm no good at backwards circles. I need to practice track standing on my 'off side' as I think thats whats holding me back. I'll have to miss out though as I am starting tai chi classes this evening (6:30) and then have plans to go to a comedy show at clinton's and have to eat dinner at some point.

PS. Those seat covers were all the rage in Oman. They were the most popular kind of saddle, save for the 'lambskin wrapped around the top tube so a 10 year old can ride a 20" frame' saddle.
