Thanks Flur! It is fun.

Kathi, I put Body Glide where I normally rub-the upper thigh area. I have never had that 'burning' feeling anywhere. Made me think of those saddles that have the cut out for women! It burned the most when I was pushing hard going up the steep inclines, so that made me think the saddle is higher than normal as I was burning on the labia, which is never where I feel discomfort. An odd feeling that is for sure.

My shoulders and neck were tight, but I know that is because this is a new form from my mountain bike, and even the tandem. So that will just take time to get used to.

I really appreciate all your help! One of the guys that rode with us on Sunday is going to Denver this week, and is going to go check out the bikes at Treads. He was very interested in the great deals they had. They were great help, I am glad you recommended them to us! I bet they are glad too, they should give you a great deal on your next purchase!
