Sounds like a bunch of saddles need replacing!

I am not totally in love with my saddle, but I think my issue would have happened no matter what saddle I was on. When you sit for 12+ hours in a sweaty chamois, problems are bound to arise! I sweat a ton and my shorts just never had time to dry out. I think the Glide I used worked really well, I just need to be diligent about hitting every spot.

We were going to ride that too, but they aren't holding it this year. Their webpage says it will be back in 2010. I think DH and I are just going to ride that route self-supported sometime in August anyway, because the steeps will be good training for a nasty ride we have coming up in September.

What a bummer that the SOB is cancelled. We live in Bothell, so we ride the route often, but it's always funner to do as an organized ride. What is your "nasty" ride you are doing in September?

Lil bolt what did you mean it was easy, you had DH's wheel? weren't you on a tandem?

We were on singles. We had friends with us from Ohio who rode their tandem. They've only been riding tandem for a few months, and probably would have done better on their singles, too. They are still learning to work together on the hills & rollies.
