So would you al recommend getting a new SEAT, or just a gel seat cover? Cause if I'm gonna get a new seat I'll need to get it before Sat and have my dad put that on for me too. Haha

I know a lot of folks like the gel covers...but I'm not one of them. I had a cover and despised it...didn't stay in place very well. I would get a new seat. And I agree that the smaller the seat, the more comfortable. Weird, I know. Mine is very similar to J's.

New seat much better than cover. Also, C is right - smaller = better. At the end of the day, you should have two small pressure points - each the size of a silver dollar. Easier on you than a bigger, fluffier seat that will make one big pressure point. Seems bass-ackwards, but, two smaller is better than one bigger...

Anatomical seats like J's are very nice. Seats can be hard to buy - everybody is built a little differently down there. What works for one person may not quite work right for someone else, and seats that look similar may feel very different.

Probably not what you want to hear, but many people end up with a collection of seats & pedals before they find what really works for them.

Well I hate that you guys are getting hit with the crap that was supposed to hit us, but I am sure glad it is not going to drop another 10 inches on us this weekend. I need this snow to melt. It is supposed to be cold but getting warmer by next weekend. Maybe, just maybe I will get to ride Big Sexy in a week.

This is a snow on a table on my deck. It looks hazy because the snow is continuing to fall.

Yeah Happy March Blizzard!

J - You look awesome! Happy bandiversary! That's quite the snow. Hopefully, it will be the last big snow of the year, so you can get down to the important business of biking...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
