That was me! And that was on the 1000 km randonnee I mentioned above. I was riding in a downpour so heavy I couldn't see anymore. When the lightening started hitting the powerlines nearby, the friend I was riding with and I dumped the bicycles in the ditch and went and hid under a bivy in another part of the ditch until the storm blew over.

I was actually a bit worried for the next 12 hours or so of that ride because the saddle had broken in SO much ... but when it dried, it tightened back up again, and has been great ever since.
