What kind of saddle do you use on that green beauty? We're experiencing the same great spring weather in Calgary. Merde!

Still learning
I actually am hoping we get 3-4 inches more, so then it would be the snowiest ever!

It was actually my second ride yesterday- I think it was a touch short of 10 miles.
I got my ass handed to me.

This really had me laughing. I almost got a bicycle out today, but had some other chores that kept me from doing so. if tomorrow afternoon is nice, perhaps then... <sigh>

top, I feel your pain as my rig is still on standby, parked n tarped on the apron facing NW - ready. I may need to run him on Tuesday. "Edgar" is sorta C&V though:1981 John Deere 400 with the 48" thrower currently mounted - green and yellow handles the property. SWMBO says it's time to take the thrower off so she can pull the manure spreader but I'm not so sure. At least the riding is OK now since we had rain to wash the salt away. We'll see about this week. Maybe the township and the state have run outta salt by now.
Hold fast......
