The DZ Nuts that she reviews favorably is my current choice as well. Works
just fine for me. (I used Assos for years but a formula change a couple of
seasons ago caused a rash reaction that put me right off the stuff. And
the saddle for a while...)

Both bikes currently have sprung saddles: the tourer has a B67 Pre-aged and
the Rando has a Champion Flyer. Interestingly, when I used the SA, it is
paired with an inexpensive shock absorber post where I can pre-set the
firmness and travel. It makes for a nice ride.

I have found that the thicker the padding, the more moisture gets absorbed,
and the worse the effect on long rides. I cut out the liners of all my
shorts and now wear them with Andiamo skins. I also use Boudreax's Butt
Paste on longer rides with pretty good results as both a lube and for

Lovely ride report and great pictures.

Fantastic! Well done, Tony. Looks like a fun ride.

Great accomplishment! Regarding the saddle...were you using a lubricant,
and would changing into a dry pair of shorts mid-ride have made any
difference? I only ask from personal experience on longer rides, since I
tend to perspire a fair amount.
On Tuesday, October 8, 2013 1:57:42 PM UTC-4,
Thanks everyone!
CC - I've definitely thought about the SAA saddle being new-to-me. I did
two 25 mile rides and about a month of off and on commuting in addition to
this century so it's not a complete 'new' unit. But my B67 took that much
and more before it became comfortable. The reason

Congratulations! That is a great accomplishment.

Congrats on the accomplishment. I've only done a couple of centuries, and
they also took all day. The big thing is, you did it.

My hats off to you, sir.
I just rode the WOD out to Purcellville today on the Ram (it was *only* 80
miles r/t for me) and one of my knees was complaining for the last 15
miles.

Great news! At this point it's too late to change anything if it needs
changing, so go with watchyagot with wild abandon! You'll learn a ton about
what problems you had and then you can try and figure out what to change
sooner for the next one. Go prepared for wild, wondrous adventure and you

You are going to do well. If you take the recommended advice, get off the
bicycle and take pictures from time to time, post them to a public site,
and send us a Proof that it happened link, we are going to be in awe of
your accomplishment You go, Jack.

You might check out Co-Motion here in Eugene, Oregon. They are
superb.

I've owned an older Trek steel tandem since the mid-90's. I've ridden
it with ALL kinds of people. Took on a week long organized tour one
year and rode with a different person each day. Finding a good partner
for riding tandem is a lot like finding a partner in general. I had a
good friend ride
Willie had a great time. We had done a 75-mile ride on single bikes a
few months ago--he finished this ride feeling much better.
Hardest part was getting him to eat enough. He ran out of gas at
about 80 miles, so we pulled into a restaurant. He showed the salad
bar no mercy.

Works well if you and your tandem partner are married, but not to each
other :-)
The rider I stoke for has a Cannondale tandem (aka Clifford - big and
red); we've done up to a double century on it. He bought it from
friends who upgraded to a Santana. Works for us just fine. I like
stoking
Eric, I'd really like to see you and your grandson on a tandem, but
when I try to open the link I get a message that it's a private page.
I'm working on getting my wife motivated to buy a tandem and am
looking for all the advice and insight I can get.

Congrats on the first century. I've been vowing to do my first century for
the better part of a decade. We'll see. The two local centuries are the
Santa Fe century in early May -- starts too early in the am to drive 60
miles from Albuquerque, and then it's hilly, not so good on a fixed gear --

Michael, tandems are wonderful! They equalize riding between unequal
riders, so there's no waiting or hard feelings or anyone getting exhausted.
If you and your wife ride at the same level (speed endurance) it's not as
big a deal, but if one is significantly stronger, it's the only way to enjoy
