Been trying to work on this lately, seeing too much meanness in the wold, thought it might help if I didn't add to it.

Wise words, Pax. I'm sure the people in your orbit appreciate your efforts to put them into action. Thanks for putting that out here on TE.

Feeling better today so I went to the garage to swap out the stock saddles for the new Terry's (Cite X for me, Liberator X for my honey), got them on and we went for a short spin... I just love Terry saddles!!!!

Glad you got a nice ride in, Pax.

I have long used Terry's Butterfly Tri-Gel saddle, which they unfortunately stopped making. I wasn't totally thrilled with the looks (I know, I know; I shouldn't place form over substance.....) of the closest one to the Tri Gel in their current line, so I finally ventured to another brand. But I wasn't happy about it. I wish I thought to hoard the Tri-Gel when I had a chance.

Yeah, not digging the looks of the new CiteX either. Weird white/pink/red writing on it... but it rides great!

Rode downhill today at the relatively new downhill park nearby. DANG, that's a lot of fun. Even though it costs an arm and a leg to rent bikes and gear and spend a day on the lifts. Everything from swooping, easy turns via jumps small, large and horrendous to gnarly, rocky, rooty awfulness.

FIL passed away this morning. He would've been 96 in three weeks. He was reasonably healthy until this spring.

DH is already there, I'll be heading out soon. Sadly, DH is the only one in the immediate family who has the slightest coping skills or willingness to accept help, and he can only do so much without threatening his own mental health. It's been pretty surreal ever since FIL went into heart failure in May and then developed delirium in the hospital. I'm a bit removed from all of it, but if you can spare a few serene thoughts for DH, MIL and SIL, I'm sure anything will help.
