Thanks everyone for your support...especially about looking for a new saddle. I've heard over and over,(um...READ over and over..grin) on these boards about the Bontrager saddle that comes on the Pilot.....I've already made up my mind that I'm gong to have to get something else.
Went to the lbs today and looked at trainers; the cheapest one was, gulp, $140.00...seems a little steep for me...so I'm going to cruise the net looking for alternative pricing.
