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

This is Bontrager Aeolus. Short nosed unlike SMP. Had SMP Well, but found it not so comfortable on long rides.
6hours on this saddle, no problem.

Man, I think it really depends on where you're at. I generally avoid it around Asheville unless its closed for inclement weather, the traffic is insane.

Ice Bridge to Mackinac Island (looking back toward St. Ignace). The County Sheriff does not endorse this road. You assume all risk. And there is no official notice when it is open.
