I stopped at Schlegel bicycles yesterday and talked to Dane, who helped me pick out a new saddle for my bike. The original saddle was way too hard and narrow. I thought I just hadn't gotten used to it yet, but talked to another guy the other day who said that he'd also had trouble with that saddle. My ride this morning was much more comfortable, so I could concentrate on other things besides my sit-bones.
I got out to Lake Draper this morning about 7:30 and did one lap plus 10 miles out and back on SE 104th St. There are some much bigger hills out there than I'm used to, and I really knocked myself out on them. Thank goodness for whatever little convenience store was out there that I came to just when I needed it; a quick break, and a refill on water, and I was on my way again.
I stopped by the bookstore last night and picked up a book called The Time-Crunched Cyclist. It sounded interesting, and hopefully I can pick up some good tips from it.
