Thanks to all of you who've replied re: letting me try out a saddle. I have never seen so many people "reach out" to help someone. I will let you all know if  i ever find the "perfect" saddle or at least a "bareable one". 

It is obvious the GCC is a terrific group of individuals who are always willing to help others. I saw it w/ those showing up to train w/me at MY pace, then with Huan's accident, and again w/Vicki. You guys really care and it shows!

See ya on the road, but no more centuries scheduled for me, as i am starting to taper for Hawaii.
