I've been hearing good things about the new Power saddles from Specialized, but they're pricey.

Today I bought a diamondback interval for 100 dollars, and I am happy with its crimo hi ten mix frame and middle of the line components, I am a bigger guy and this thing feels really solid under me. It's basically in showroom condition and I am thrilled by its electric blue paint

Today instead of putting on the kit and hitting one of my normal routes... I took a break from my normal 25 mile loop. I readied a vintage bike, and dressed in plaid shorts and a knit golf shirt. OK... I did wear cycling shorts under the plaid shorts. But I wore retro tennis shoes as my vintage bike has toe cages. I even went as far as to wear my regular glasses instead of contacts and cycling glasses.
It was fun! A relaxed fun. I had planned on stopping for an ice cream cone or Starbucks coffee. But I didn't feel a need to stop. I rode at a slower pace.... just shy of getting my golf shirt too sweaty. I rode a little further and a little longer than planned.
It was nice.

Today I realized that within a 3 mile radius of my apartment I have:
2 - 24 hour convenience stores
2 - gas stations
2 - post offices
1 - mall
2 - stores (Target and Wally World)
4 - grocery stores (2 of them are 24 hour super stores)
2 - bike shops
3 - sub shops
14 - restaurants (though not all good, like Chili's)
1 - police station
1 - fire station
1 - Chinese take out place that is open on Sundays
1 - MUP that connects me to a main road with a bike lane that will get me to downtown/campus easily
1 - lame mountain bike trail that runs on the backside of my complex
1 - farmers market in the summer
There is a lot more, but last night after riding home, dropping my work stuff off, letting the dog out, and riding up the 24 hour grocery and more store, I started realizing that I have it pretty good as far as location goes. The roads are not really ideal for riding as they are higher traffic/higher speed roads. Riding them at 12:15 at night however is decent. Did some grocery shopping for a few things and packed them in my bag and rode home. Could have easily taken the car but why?

Sry to hear @spRICE, glad the damage isn't worse.
My advice: Earn some upgrade points and race in the 3s!!!! Although in all honesty, we're not a whole lot safer
Today: 3hrs of mainly endurance, hit a few climbs kinda hard. I had planned on putting in 4 today but it's hot, and I'm lazy.

Make sure you dry it when you get home. I used to grow mold on my Brooks and Ideale saddles in Portland. ride a couple hours in the rain. Hang bike in super damp garage or basement. Repeat for a few days straight, then leave bike alone for a couple of days.

guys I need to get a rack, only problem is the Kona rove has stupid mid-fork mounts that don't actually fit any rack. I think. Plus, it doesn't have canti posts, which makes it extra hard to find anything. Does anyone know what type of mounts these are? You can see the pic for the weird location.
