The Brooks is probably a perfect match, but I don't like buying leather

I'm eagerly awaiting arrival of this thing:

Hope it's the ticket.
And sheesh I gotta agree with you about NoRacer. 140mi with a full pack is making my back sweaty and sore just thinking about it. Seems like a great trip though. I might just give it a shot myself some monday... or, a sunday if I can ever get one off.
I just saw your PM. I haven't been on much lately since the computer was down. We'll ride soon. I am also dealing w/ my son in town visiting and aging parents , one with a broken foot. it's tough getting old.
Saddle sores are almost always the seats fault (or shorts). I always use butt'r on the backside when riding greater than 50 miles. I usually put it on mid-ride.
The Brooks and vegans: That's a tough solution. I don't know the answer but seat choice is one of the most important fits on a cycle. your newest saddle choice is pricey but if it works buy it.
