What a great way to spend time with your daughter and get some fresh air and excercise to boot! I hope you find a saddle that suits you, but give it time to break in (you that is, not the saddle). It takes a while.

Isn't this forum the best?

Thank you everyone! Went for another short 4 mile ride today (it's hard pulling the baby!). Beautiful weather here, the rail trail was awesome. I think I like the new seat - definitely not as hard as the stock one. I need to ride on it more to know for sure.

@Gypsy, how do you get your bike info printed in the small purple writing?

In your UserCP (control panel) you can add a signature. That's what is!

Pulling or pushing a baby/kid is an excellent work out. I used to jog with my daughter in one of the baby jogger stroller and it was hard. The weight of the stroller plus a 30 pound baby, OMG!

I was supposed to do an 8 miler today in the trainer but I'm exhausted. I'm so ready for spring!

Welcome! I'm a newbie as well and also living in NY.

I have a jogging stroller as well, although, I'm not a jogger. Never had the stamina. But it's a very smooth ride for walking. What kind of trainer do you have? My husband wants one, but I told him we should wait until the fall...it's almost spring and we probably don't really need it at this point.

I stopped jogging due to a back injury that I have to take care of,which I haven't
The trainer brand is CycleOps and I think the model is the Fluid. I have to use it since I'm training for 65 mile ride, ufff!

Is it easy to use? You're happy with it? I'm wondering what kind to look into when/if we do get one next year. I've also heard good things about the Kinetic ones? My bike shop sells them too, the fluid ones, but not sure of the brand.
