Just musing

I’ve been busily working on the garden at the back of the house still.  It’s looking considerably better than when I started, too!

Nevertheless, I’ve had to get in some riding.  It poured rain today, so no getting out (although I still went out in the rain and did some gardening–mad, eh?), but I did get in some nice rides the past few days.

I also found out today that I am to be a product tester for a new Brooks saddle!  That may not mean a lot to some of you, but it is big news in the cycling community.  I am thrilled and excited to be a part of the testing.

The new saddle, to be called the Imperial, differs from the standard saddles made by Brooks in that it has a ‘cut out’.  Cut outs are one way of avoiding that ‘numbness’ which happens for many cyclists.  I have wanted to have a Brooks on several of my bikes for a long time, but I much prefer saddles with a cut out.  So, here’s my chance!  Brooks saddles are made in England, by the way.

The new saddle is not in the catalogue yet…
