I can't really address the saddle issue, NY, but it seems like you should have the fitting first. Can the PT recommend a fitter?
So, our ride tonight was really good. Except for the traffic. It was a good route, but it was still rush hour. About half of it or more was on country roads, in a wildlife preserve, but we had to make a couple of turns on a main road, which were a bit hairy for a small group. We had 6 riders and we all stayed together. Perfect temperature of 70 and a pretty stiff breeze. So, we might take this route and make it longer, to do on a weekend.
It's going to rain tomorrow, and i have to work around noon time, so I don't think I'll be riding. Saturday, it will rain early, and we are going out for our early Father's Day with my son and family in the AM. Hoping to do a short ride after that and a long and hilly ride Sunday. My knee was fine tonight. Amazing what Arnica does to decrease swelling.
I will be away those dates, NY, so I am sorry I am missing you. I would happily drive down the Cape. Be careful of that allergy thing!
