Ahhhh I'm so happy for you!!!!!
Yayayayayayay so glad you are enjoying your new bike. I totally feel what you're going through right now. Every free second I get, it's "how much time can I get away with riding my bike before I have to do (whatever errand or job I need to do)"?
I adore the lightness. So used to the heavy mountain bike; loading into my car was something I dreaded. With the road bike, it's more like a quick little toss. So easy.
Interesting about the saddle choice. How did you come to choose it? I've never seen it before! (As you may know, I'm having issues with my saddle). What are the cons?
Yeah... my bike doesn't have a kickstand and i asked the LBS guy, and he said also said no to the kickstand. I'm happy to lean it.

).

A century on a mountain bike? I'm thinking with your beautiful Trek you can easily go 200 miles! Oh, you certainly deserve that gorgeous bike! Congrats.

Still loving your new road bike?
I LOVE mine! Love it, love it, love it, love it! Can't get enough of it!
After finding out how light my bike is, my husband said "Now I see why they don't put kickstands on these things - it'd double the weight!"

It's a Trek Pilot. I bought it slightly used. It had maybe 100 miles on it.

I was having alot of trouble with my saddles so I did some research online and found the Easy Seat. The only con I had was just getting it adjusted right and getting used to it, which didn't take long. Balancing feels a little different. Compared to my previous discomfort that was easy!
