Hmm, it appears that stretchy #bicycle saddle covers may have gone the way of the dinosaur... My late 1980's steel Centurion Dave Scott Ironman original seat is starting to change colors (used to have a stretchy cover on it... long tossed). Hmm... 30 year old bicycle. Still works! #vintage

@ai6yr clearly, what you're expected to do is buy a brand-new rawhide saddle for $495 on sale and then spend the next 1000 miles breaking it in. #moleskin

@ai6yr And now the #moleskin hashtag is officially born. I do hope it someday helps a person discover that the hot spot beneath their hiking boots can be protected without abandoning the trek.

@ai6yr maybe now that #hiking season is upon us, not to mention wildland #fire fighting season...

OK so challenge level geolocation, also very pretty and much easier to do visually than the wind blowing through a couple palm trees at night:

@me Far too easy my friend (beautiful sunset however!). The reason why is the water tank... easy landmark, not many of them around.

@me Wow, your neighbor up the hill has quite the vineyard/estate spread.

@ai6yr yeah, that's basically a castle complete with dungeon/garage. Their gate is subtly imposing.
