I hope you can find a saddle that will remain comfortable through 209 miles in one weekend!![]()
If you find one you should write a thread on it cause' I'm sure lots of women here would want to try it!

There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".
Thanks for your review.. I'm trying to decide right now what to get!
Central Coast Double - 209 miles in one day on my Brooks Finesse.
I've ridden 5 double centuries, countless centuries and several 200Ks on this saddle.
I have three of them - one on each of my road bikes and one on the tandem.

I have a men's B17 ,and I have put about 1200 miles on it ,and its not broken in yet. By broken in I mean there are no "indents". It looks new except for the scratches on it. The longest distance I've gone was 71 miles...no chafing ,no rashes ,but my crotch gets a bit sore after 50 miles or so ,but its gone the next day. I do like it ,but I'm thinking either my sits bones are more than 5 1/2 inches and I'm on the frame ,or I need to move it more forward. I don't think any saddle would be comfortable after sitting 3 hours on it.Darcy ,and I are going to do a Century in September ,so I will see how I feel after that.
Love my Brooks B67 saddles. Wide enough for my sit bones, and SPRINGS to even out the bumps!
After a 60 mile ride, it's my legs that are tired, not my heine. First time I've ever had a saddle that truly fit me.
I've made indents, and they are not right on the frame! whooo-hoo!
