Well, I went out thinking I was going to have a great ride today and I don't know what happened. Today must have been the worst cycling day I've had in 3 years. I had no energy, absolutely zilch, and everything seemed a struggle. The new saddle didnt' help, after all. It was comfy for the first 20 min, then I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to keep getting off the bike. I think it's way too wide. Have to keep searching because this is getting crazy! I know I have it in me to do way more than this but I need some level of comfort. Pain I don't mind, but excruciating is not the same. Oh well, I've heard Trek does bike saddle fittings (sit fit bones measurement) and helps you to choose the best saddle, so maybe I'll try that today.

Since it's raining today (Sunday), decided to go to Trek store to get measured for a proper fitting saddle. In my infinite wisdom, I wore bike shorts (stupid!stupid!stupid!). Since I didn't have a regular pair of pants to change into, I had to try to grab all the padding from the back and pull it all the way to the front so I could just sit on my fanny. Oh how cute that was! Anyway, the nice thing is that I have 90 days to try the saddle and if I'm not happy with it, I can return it. Hurray!!!! Yes, indeed, the other saddle I had chosen was way too wide. Can't wait to try this one out.
