tarwheel - congrats on your 5 bagger - still waiting for mine.

I purchased a new saddle: Specialized Avatar Gel saddle in a 143 width

I love it. It was raining this morning but nothing would keep me from road testing it on my 13 mile ride in. I LOVE IT. My hip feels better already and it was comfortable! I felt much more efficient. It also seemed slippery enough. I even rode in with just bike shorts because it was warm enough.

Wrapped my rack trunk with my courier bag with a plastic bag - not elegant. Of course I know a proper waterproof rack trunk is in my future ... :-) Hoping the rain takes a break for my ride home. I have some f;exibility with my schedule so maybe I can time my ride with the radar forecast.
