So Long, Old Pal...

This saddle carried me through undergrad, dental school, to and from work, in and on several states and two continents. We rode at sea level and climbs at 8,000 feet. We survived spills and road rash, outlasted several bike frames and components. We've been together for over 24 years!

Last week the rail broke during a ride...

Oh, it's enough to be on your way,
It's enough just to cover ground,
It's enough to be moving on home.
Built it behind your eyes--
Carry it in your heart;
Safe among your own.
So long, old pal!
