Gadzooks! It's hard to imagine a 140 (let alone 180) mile day. Impressive.
In hindsight, had I turned left on 67 for Deckers, I would have had
secluded paved road most of the way back. No cell signal till I'm almost
home, but I likely would have gotten water and returned under my own power.

I wonder what a C17 on titanium rails would weigh? Perhaps Brooks could

I don't know of any such devices, but those inline brake cable adjusters
would work . You simply rotate the adjuster to widen . It's not "instant",
but this is not something you're going to be doing alot of... or are you ?

If anyone's interested in an O2 W (I interpreted the suffixes as W for

The later version has the more accentuated padding and cutout.

Ron, the O2 saddles came in different widths, from 5.6 inches for the Men's
racing to 7 inches for the Womens. Hence the Womens being "like" a Brooks

Thank you Bob for reviewing and posting. So you like it! One thing I

If the Cambium comes in at the low end of the market, think of all the

I've attended the Great Western Bicycle Rally based in Paso Robles for the past
4 years.
This is held in early summer. Even when it is hot in PR, the coast and
attendant cooler (much) micro climate is ~30 miles away.
The diversity of riding and climate in this area is great.
