Do you use a Brooks Saddle

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I put a solid 300 miles on the saddle in the year before the ride too. At one point I was wearing two pairs of shorts haha. I did all the recommended break in steps and just couldn’t do it. I felt every rivet that seat had. Don’t get me wrong, they’re beautiful saddles and work for a great many people. My behind just wasn’t one of them.
