Decided to ride to John O'Groats yesterday, not quite the adventure tour you would imagine as I live only 15 miles away but the round trip made it my longest fixed gear ride to date @ 36 miles.
I was blessed with the sun on my face and on the return leg the wind on my back which is a rare occurrence as we don't see the sun very often here.
I did suffer with a serious case of numb nutz toward the end of the ride so I've finally bit the bullet and ordered a Selle Italia Max Flow. I have been trying various set ups with my Change Spoon saddle (nose slightly up seems best) but on longer rides I can't seem to avoid numbness, the rough road surfaces around here are probably a contributing factor.
