riverside guy - i wont be able to make it fri night but that sounds so awesome! i would totally be interested in going since i havent ridden in central park yet.

also - if you dont mind me asking - what is your weight and height and how do you like your avenir saddle that you posted the link for? im 6'1" and 180 just for comparison. if you like it, im wondering if i would too... altho i know there is much more to consider than simply weight and height...
the wider the saddle is at the rear the more it will push you forward onto the nose of the saddle
and you'll be riding on your perineum and not on your sit bones- i have a specialized avatar on all my bikes- it's hard but not too hard but pretty narrow. you need to ride more to strengthen your lower back muscles and harden your backside. seats like the one you posted may look comfortable but are no good for long rides- they don't provide enough support
