Yay Susie ! Glad you're back on hte bike. Small steps, grasshopper.

Very nice pixs, wabisabi.

Hey melissa, as you noted, work on the saddle tilt a little bit more. One thing I noticed about Brooks' is that the tilt of the saddle makes a big difference.

Lee & I only did our out & back to Mission Coffee for lunch, maybe 26 miles or so. Added a loop around what (back a few years when I was doing the Fremont Freewheelers Cinderella training rides) I thought was a really big hill. Notsomuch anymore.

M. Coffee makes a tasty turkey pannini with foccacia bread & pesto, yummers. Washed down with a mango freeze. Sitting out on the porch watching the world go by and listening to the birds chattering at the feeders. Nice.
