I received the test saddle late Friday November 18, Saturday morning set it up on my bike for the Colnago Gran Fondo Miami ride on Sunday. Did not have a chance to ride it before the big ride and I was concerned that I would be breaking the saddle in on a 55 mile ride.

Sunday at 0600 hours it was partly cloudy we had some light drizzles and it was very windy, 15-25 Knot winds out the East North East. Around 1500 cyclist waited in a group for the start at least 5 cyclist commented on the saddle asking about and admiring its design.

Once the ride started, I totally forgot about the new saddle. At the 20 mile rest stop I was reminded of it when a couple of guys approached me again about the saddle, "Where in italy is it made?". The ride was a great, the wind was a bear, the saddle is the most comfortable saddle I have ever ridden. I like a stiff saddle for group rides and higher cadence riding and this saddle delivers.

So now its early thanksgiving and there is a big group ride, so I am off for a pre Turkey coma ride.
