I shipped my Koobi saddle off for repair and put one of my old saddles on. When I did that my pedaling seemed to go in squares but that may be from the last two days of riding. I had to stop to adjust the saddle to keep from sliding forward and putting too much pressure on my hands. The rider has three pressure points (seat, hands and feet) and when you change one it affects the others. Hopefully I get my Koobi saddle back quickly. I did not want to make any big changes with the fit since it should only be a short time. Tomorrow&#8217;s rest day should help the legs.<\/p>\n<p>The great riding weather continued today: 82 degrees, partly cloudy skies, 15 mph south wind and acceptable humidity. While this is perfect for riding the drought stills has a firm grip on Texas.<\/p>\n<p>May miles are <strong>213.48<\/strong> and year to date miles are <strong>1716.15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div
