The Moon Saddle...their catch phrase is redefining the bicycle saddle...you have no idea. This is quite the understatement of the year...
Okay, I have a thing for saddles. I cannot find one I just love. It either has too much pressure on the bone or the tissue between my thigh and nether regions. Either way, I have been through more saddles than a small bicycle shop. I could have my own saddle library. Okay, Hal could house my own saddle library underneath his bench. When Marvelous Marvin suggested the Moon Saddle, which has no nose, I ordered it! So, today was the initial ride.
Since Ironman, I have not ridden my tri bike except to try the Moon Saddle in the parking lot. I hopped on today and headed out. Before I even got out of my neighborhood, I was off the bike twice to make adjustments. I felt okay and had nooooooo pressure on my happy parts. However, I feel like too close to my saddle and lots of pressure on the handlebars. It is quite uncomfortable. Things that are normally easy - say like drinking were hard. I was very wobbly on a bike I am pretty comfortable on. Honestly, I was ready to bail because I was just miserable but I could hear Hal saying I dissed him. I tried to call Leo but no answer. DANG IT! So, I get off and adjust a few more times and even turn the saddle completely around. BAD IDEA. This was way worse because you cannot get a full pedal stroke this way. So, it took me almost twice as long to meet up with my peeps. Hal was not at all surprised when I told him I hated this saddle. I wanted to ride a little longer but bailed after working almost 2-3 times harder than normal. To add to my pain, the wind was blowing like crazy. Again, I was one of the last people. Oh well, I got this really cool saddle...NOT! Oh well, live and learn. What to do about the saddle? Why can't someone come up with a saddle that is comfy for women? If I could figure that out, I would be rich!!!! But life is so much better working part time at a bike shop and teaching for peanuts! It is much more interesting, however.
Well, I finally got home and decided to shower and then go and get some Mike's Hard Lemonade. I decide to take Doodle's car and of course, it had a low tire so I had to pop over and air it up. But they had a sale on Mike's Hard so the evening is looking up!!!
Good news for me today...for weeks I have been trying to get Wii Fit. I popped into my favorite store, Target, today for something completely different and lo and behold WII FIT! So exciting! I have not been able to try it yet but I am giddy with anticipation.
