Watch the equipment...

Spending a week at Specialized was great...

Riding some sweet bikes was nice, the BG Fit class was amazing, but the best thing I saw...

A live penile blood flow saddle demonstration. Yep Dr. Roger Minkow hooked a sensor up to one of the male instructors "equipment" to measure blood flow and had him ride a few different saddles while a monitor showed the real time blood flow loss. I have never been overly picky about saddles and have always told customers if it doesn't hurt go with it when it came to picking the best one. Those days are OVER. After watching the blood flow drop to almost zero in less than a minute while he was riding a very popular saddle without feeling any signs of discomfort or numbness I am fully on board with the Specialized BG Saddle program! They had data from all of the major saddle brands and majority of them had similarly astonishingly poor results. The Specialized Toupe is the best tested saddle, but it still restricts up to 20% of blood flow. The kicker is guys can not tell that blood flow is being restricted and are totally unaware. It's one thing to have someone tell you about the study, it is entirely different to watch the number plummet while the rider is telling you that he actually finds the saddle to be quite comfortable! I am all about keeping the blood flowing.

Looks like the weather may finally break here in cheeseland...

...keeping my fingers crossed.
