MTB saddle recommendations? Preferably under $30, not looking to break the bank on a small piece of plastic and pleather.

WTB, whatever fits your ass, Rocket?. You might be able to test saddles out at the LBS basically for free if you buy from them.

I rode to Ambler today basically all on dirt. Took the Wissahickon Trail. Crossed the river a bunch jumping across concrete blocks. Threw my bike up a river bank because the trail had me climb a ladder. Got a flat. Lost my phone. Was awesome. 5/7 would do that trail again.

I think I have heat exhaustion doe. I gotta stop doing long rides in the middle of the day.

Well I had my own pic of this but my phone is gonezo, some :mahtroy: snatched it and took it on a bus so I :nuke: it. Bye phone. Anyways...

This is one of the river crossings I went over today. Hiked the bike across and threw it up onto the embankment. Then climbed the ladder. There were two of these that I crossed like that, lol.

Went yesterday, they only had $100 seats :disgust:

THey were basically like "don't buy this here, go get one cheaper somewhere else" :iono: .

Yeti demo day next Saturday, hopefully I'll get to go just for shits. Haven't been on the bike since the crotchfruit was born on the 14th, but hopefully wifey will be cool with me jetting for a few hours to ride super nice bikes I'll never buy. :csb:

Thanks! He's pretty good so far. A couple tough nights, but compared to the stories I've heard from some friends who are fairly new parents he's pretty chill comparatively.

Moved the saddle on the road bike forward nearly a half inch. Feels better, rode smoother and all. I don't know if the saddle is slipping or what. I tightened the F out of the rail bolts so hopefully it stops moving. Why can't anyone make a god damn seatpost that keeps the saddle in one spot without giving a jackhammer ride quality?

Pizza ride was good last night. Old school style race up the hills and regroup at the top. A couple sprints. Nothing insane, nobody got hurt.

I've gotta make it down for one of these.
It's not a long ride, I think the ride itself was like 24 miles if that. But last night was a pretty route, and always good hangs afterwards. I sprint up some of the hills but the rest of the time I'm chatting with friends. There's an "A" ride if you want to go fast. The "B" ride is the party ride.

She thinks they're :fullretard: priced. She likes the champagne colored diamonds. i.e. the cheap ones. And yellow gold. More into the little cluster rings than a big rock. This is going to be a lot cheaper than I thought.

Sometimes :wub: a non rich girl has its perks. Allison would definitely not want a :mindblown: expensive ring either, fortunately.

Only way to go cheaper is to use a family ring like I did. :scrooge:

My wife is the fourth generation to wear her engagement ring. Not the biggest diamond ever, but she loves it, and I love that all I had to do was get it resized. :hue:
