How's the seat?

I think I could have gone lots further without trouble. A sheepskin pad would help a lot, and I did like the CSC tall seat I tried at the show in Sacramento.

I'm beginning to believe that the key to bottom-end comfort is a combination of the seat itself and taking regular breaks and moving around some, in flight. Besides, standing up at 55mph looks cool!

Glad to hear things went well for you!...and wow, maybe it's because I'm overweight at the moment but you had a lot better luck with the stock seat than I. I can go about an hour before I have to get off. You're right, regular breaks are essential.

Mrs 2LZ and I used to do Lassen annually on our bikes and camp on Hat Creek.
Good to have another Nor Cal person here! Welcome from Volcano.

I love Lassen. A favorite day hike we have done many times. GREAT roads in that area too. I usually stay at Mineral.
