I’ve used these tyres before but have never taken them this far. I had already bought the new tyre about a month before I put it on but being a stingy old so and so I kept putting it off and off. In the meantime I kept looking at it and praying that it would hold out.

Roll on San Marco – new bicycle saddle

So it was time for a new saddle. I had a look at some of the threads about saddles on lfgss.com and got some ideas. Most recommended the Brooks leather saddle. But it was a little out of my price range and I didn’t want to commit to the time required to break it in.

So I have been cycling further and it has been harder work. But I believed that I would grow into it and soldiered on.
