Yesterday I felt everything was against me. My back tire had a bump in it, my computer wire was cut from the pimple in the front tire and my seat just wasn't comfortable at all.
But yesterday I fixed the back tire by putting in a different tube, not the presta but the other valve, I fixed the wires for the computer and I adjusted my seat ok.
Today I woke up late. I normally set the alarm to wake me up at 4am but I guess I forgot last night because I woke up at 5:30am. So I was able to leave at 6am. I thought the world was going to be against me again but it was ok.
I thought that yesterdays last adjustment of the seat was good where I made it so it's forward and not backward but that wasn't good at all. I just felt like I was going to fall off. When I got to the bike trail I decided I need to adjust it yet again so I just moved it back 1 notch and it was good the rest of the trip.
I did my 20 miles and all was good. Although, I need to sit in the Shiatsu massager for awhile because my back is killing me from that lol. It's like my arms are pushing too hard on the handlebars or something. I'm sure that I will be comfortable with this new seat and then there won't be any problem.
Oh one last thing, when I was looking at the website where I bought the new seat from I was debating on if I should buy the cheapest seat by itself or maybe with the sheepskin. Or maybe I should buy the gel seat I just don't know. So I emailed the website asking them for their opinion and the guy who runs it said that he uses the classic with sheepskin so I took his word for it and bought that. Big mistake.
I should've taken into consideration that sheepskin is going to be hot during the summer lol. DUH! And I really do need that gel seat. It's just too bad that I gave my old seat along with the gel cover to a neighbor. I could've cut the gel part and sewn it to the bottom of the sheepskin. Or I could just cut it at the crotch area and just make my own cover with the fabric that it has on it. Just a little nip and tuck here and I could've used it. Oh well, maybe next check I can buy another gel seat cover from Walmart or Target and just cut it up and put it on there.
