I'm so glad you had a good time at the Pardee! That sounds like a really cool ride. German chocolate cake is a very, very good thing. I'm trying a new oatmeal cookie recipe for the Tierra Bella this weekend. It has pecans, chocolate chunks and dried sour cherries instead of raisins. If they turn out well I'll bring a bunch to the ride to share with CindySue and anyone else from TE that I run into!

I had Blaine adjust my saddle forward just a little yesterday, but I won't get a real ride in for a couple of days since the bike is in the shop for a tune up as of today. Hopefully I'll get it back tomorrow or Wednesday. I'll see how it goes. I'm thinking about going to REI and getting one of those women's Serfas Rx saddles to try out, too. REI has a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so if I hate it I can return it. I'd like to compare it with the Avocet. I'm really looking forward to trying out the Avocet with the new adjustment. I'll keep you posted!
