    Cool Hello Brooks Girls

    I know there are some of you out there, so tell me. What model Brooks saddle do you have and how much do you love it?

    I've been looking at the Team Pro S, because I like the copper rivets......

    Finesse

    -let's just say after my epic ride - 116 miles, 11,200 feet of climb, 10+ hours of saddle time -my butt and other assorted bits were just FINE!

    You women who ride Brooks... I'm wondering if you noticed a significant difference right away with your private bits. I'm currently riding a Terry Butterfly Tri and it's okay, but my bits are bunched up and sore after about 45 minutes or so. I haven't been riding that consistently, so I know I haven't really toughened up down there yet, but I was wondering if your Brooks even took care of the "toughening up" time. Am I making sense?

    Well of course you do! And you carry them in your trunk pack

    Sorry, I had to say it. I'd love to borrow one of your spares - whaddapal!

    nooo, I carry them in my genuine retro-grouch Carradice canvas & leather saddle bag, so there

    We have a tan B17 and a black Champion Flyer (which is basically a B17 with springs, woo woo). Alas, no copper rivets.

    I can't make the cindy training ride this Saturday but maybe we can work something out.

    Kewl!

    I'll try to find out from Anita when she's planning on doing the reservoirs -maybe you can catch that one.

    Are you going to do all 12 weeks of the academy? (is it still 12 weeks.....)
