Yes, my husband is very cool. (She's referring to the bikeforum.com post, my husband's handle is "monogodo"). Every time we go on a ride, he tinkers with my bike a little more to make it better for me.

Today I went on an 8.75 mile ride, which is the farthest that I've ridden so far. And I didn't just completely collapse when I got home, which made me feel good. I am going to go exchange my saddle today, though. I got a nice cushy springy saddle thinking that it would be more comfortable for me, but I think I'd like one that is specifially cut for women and has a hole in the center. The first few rides, I would hold onto the handles funny, and I realized today it was because when I bent forward I mushed up my Girlie Parts and it made me very uncomfortable. Plus I keep poking myself in the butt with the seat, I think a shorter nosed saddle will help.
