Well, folks, I'm about to join the B-68 fold, I think!

Today, I went on a long-for-me ride of forty miles, and in the process went over 1000 miles on the ol' odometer. I've kind of been planning to reward myself in some way for hitting that milestone (it's about twice as far as I'd ever done in a *full* season before, and it's still early August! Yay me!), and it's also as good a time as any to accept the fact that the reason I *still* don't have dimples on the B-17 (which also has over 1000 miles on it now) is 'cause my butt bones are right on the metal frame. Not quite over the edge, but not inside on just leather, either. It's still comfier than any other saddle I've used, but I'm thinking it's not really the ideal model for me.

So...the plan is to put it on the mountain bike where it'll be fine for shorter distances or sell it, and get a B-68 for Edwina-the-Volpe, who is my commuting / trail riding / long distance cruisin' gal.

I placed the order at Wallingford for a nice honey B-68 like Lisa's. Can't wait to try it out - this may be a match made in heaven!
