Saddle with a cutout

Submitted by EODonnell on Fri, 05/20/2022 - 4:36am

I have been sidelined since March 3 with a perenium injury.  I will spare you the gory details, but the urologist suggested a saddle with a cutout.  There appear to be two basic styles, a hole in the middle or a split saddle, like a forked tongue.   Any recommendations?  I saw this Selle Italia, SLR Kit Carbonio Boost Superflow Saddle.  The list is $450!!!  Yikes!  On sale for for a mere $314.99 at Competitive Cyclist.  Gee, what a bargain?!  I do own 3 bikes , all of which I ride, so any investment would be tripled.

My name is Lisa, I’m a Staffing Director at Camp Walt Whitman in Piermont, New Hampshire, I wanted to reach out and connect with you. Our camp offers 4–5-day biking trips for our campers and we’re currently looking to hire a couple biking trip leaders for this summer. We offer two trips for our oldest campers to participate in, one is to Burlington VT and the other is to the Seacoast of Maine. Our biking trip leaders are riding along on these trips with the kids, seeing all the sights and doing all the activities when stopped, ensuring that the kids are practicing safe biking practices and keeping the trips on track.

Morning Recreational Cycling in Central Park/ Hudson Greenway?

Submitted by JOlson on Sat, 05/14/2022 - 2:57pm

Would anybody like to ride two or three times a week in the morning a couple times around Central Park, occasionally up or down the Greenway? Equivalent to a C12-C14 or a B12-B14, it is a great way to get exercise, build stamina, and "get the blood flowing" at the start of the day, with no pressure and good conversation. Takes a little more than an hour for a  +/- 13 mile ride, door to door (depending on where your door is located).

 

If interested, call or write.
