I intended to get this ride in at 10 AM, I had to change out the saddle for a new one and it took me much longer to switch out everything that was connected to it and refit it correctly, also this saddle was shorter by just over 1 inch so it became a Lunch Time Ride. Both saddles are Selle SMP, The old one was a Stratos the new one Kryt3. It was now 96* at the start then within the first 2.5 miles it was pushing 102*, I was going to make it super short but the 3 mile turn, the temps dropped back down to 96* so, I continued on and was ready to turn off at the 7 mile turn off if the temps climbed back up! It stayed at 96* with 10 mph head winds, I continued on... I decided to turn around at the 9 miles mark, to get 17 miles for the day as I could feel the heat zapping some of my energy. For some reason Garmin was not receiving GPS signal the first 3/4 miles of this ride, so Garmin will be short. The ride felt smooth and the saddle was nice, I didn't have the extra movement in the saddle as with the other but all in all it very comfortable especially on the tender spots from the accident. I was smiling big time when I finished today's ride! Be safe out there and as always enjoy the ride and finish with a victorious smile...
