Beautiful day and landscapes; thanks for the photos. The skies look as blue
as NM skies, which is saying a lot since most of NM is a few thousand feet

Nice bike, too.

Welcome Spring depends on where you live. We still have 2-3 foot deep snow
drifts. Still looks like winter. It's not reliably spring here until May.
This year we'll go from winter to major flooding then spring.

Hi Khalid,
I think the Berthoud saddle is worth it's cost. It's certainly more
comfortable and there are absolutely no issues with the plastic bottom. In
fact, it's almost invisible with a saddlebag. I've also heard a lot of
complaints regarding durability with the newer Brooks saddles. Anyway,

Detail differences assessed when I ode red mine last year are as follows:
- Slight color difference. The Waterford is just slightly livelier
with a spark that the Toyo lacks. The Toyo is a bit more matte; very
subtle but noticeable only when doing a side by side comparison.
