OOOOOOhhhhhh! I had a funny feeling I was missing something really nice!
But I have to say, my dear wife did take me to Panera's for a birthday smoothie right after the ride! Even better, I remembered to eat my Clif before it.
But I am sorry we didn't connect.
I ended up doing a lot of on-road saddle tweaking. I had just installed a B17N Imperial that was sitting around, and tried to optimize it on the fly. But I made it too tall and too nose-up. I have to get a 2 bolt seat post on that bike. Still, the riding was great.
