two of the guys I was riding with had brooks saddles.
as for the 27 mph, that HAD to be a downhill slope coming off one of the road crossings- my bike cannot go that fast without a downhill.
I'm ready to go back- but I'd like to start out a little closer to home (maybe washington trailhead) and take a more leisurely pace. I know, 10 mph is leisurely to some, but it was pushing it for me. I'd like to enjoy the scenery and maybe even stop to get a coffee or ice cream, or look at some shops.
