Today I went to Tad Hughes Custom Fit Studio http://www.tadhughescustom.com/index.html and had a very positive experience. Tad's "bedside" manner was exceptional and he gave me more information about my body and what he was doing than I ever wanted to know. In fact, I finally told him that I didn't need to know the hows or whys, just the result and what needed to be done But had I wanted to know I have no doubt he could have given me a whole lecture on how the mechanics of the body work.

He was slightly scary when he said to me, "I bet you sleep like this," and proceeded to pantomime exactly how I sleep.

He took a video of me, raised the seat, moved it back, adjusted the bars, put a shim in my shoe and oh, he had this thing that he puts over the saddle and it shows all the pressure points so he can adjust the saddle so you don't have pressure in the wrong spots, which I thought was really slick.

When we were done he told me that I would probably hate him for the first week and then life should be good. We'll see I will have to remember that the saddle is up so high now that the only way for me to touch the ground is to get off the saddle....better not forget or I'll be sorry!
