Bless me father for I have sinned. My last confession was forty some years ago. Since then I have committed many sins. I have lied 3 or 4 times, and taken the lords name in vain maybe 6 times. I certainly have coveted my neighbours BMW and twice I missed church on Sunday. But the biggest sin I have committed father was to buy a new saddle for my bike!!!
In order to be allowed to buy the saddle in the first place my wife made me commit to admitting it to you publicly so here you have it. First let me show you a pic of my previous saddle, the one which you may remember solved all of my numb nuts problems.
You will recall that it was the split nature of the saddle that allowed my private parts the freedom necessary to allow good blood flow and prevent squashed nerves. The limitation of the saddle is the overall width. I have a fairly narrow pelvis which results in pressure on my sit bones, as well as rubbing on my inner thighs. You can see then what attracted me about this blue beauty.
It also has the open middle and yet it is not as wide. That should be the both of best worlds. But alas not quite. The opening is not as wide as the old one and I did experience a bit of numbness on my 2 hour ride today. The narrower slot is compounded by the fact that the saddle is very padded, which although it may seem like a good idea, is actually counterproductive. The softness allows the saddle to collpase under weight thereby closing up the gap even more. Since I can't find it locally I bought it off of e-bay and the soft padding was an unexpected disappointment. I'm gonna give it some time and try to get the position dialed in and then decide. Of course the more expensive carbon fiber models have little to no padding so I may need your help with Roo one more time.
It is a decidedly cool looking saddle which is of course as important as anything eh? Note how the nose is curled way down, once again in an effort to leave the crown jewels feeling unencumbered.
"So about my penance father?"
"Well son. How about 3 Hail Marys, 2 Our Fathers, and 1 Bend over the Communion Rail"
"Up Yours Father. See you in 40 years!"
(computrainer 2 hours, weights)
"Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession."---Mahatma Gandhi
