					<description>We got Brooks Saddles and MKS pedals (Touring Pedals) which was recommended by our bike shop sales person. One of the many reasons I liked the LHT was because we could use it for our regular commuting needs after our trip because of its rep as a work horse. </description>

					<description>By the bye, me darlin' Mrs. has a LHT and loves it tremendously.  It really is a workhorse and it is a great machine for the money.  No, it's outclasses everything in its price range.  Though nicely equipped, I do suggest getting a different saddle -- the standard one is shit and no amount of goo will help.  Also look into MKS or other flat pedals.</description>

					<description>I am amused (and pleased) that I'm showing up in your dreams. I don't think I've had any dreams of any of my online friends. Yet. 

We could very well meet since we're still not sure where we'll wind up. It is both exciting and frustrating, since I can't plan our route until the end. There is this pesky thing called winter that we'll be running into that's making things hard to plan. </description>

					<description>ZOMG! It is real. You are geared up and nearly on your way.

I woke in a semi-dream state this morning with a scene alongside a roadway around here. In this scene, I met you and your husband and rode to the outskirts of town with you. Okay, I'm laughing here. I am the person who recently fell down in my driveway just trying to sit on a bike my neighbor scavanged for me from the dumpster. Oy.

But, I am delighted and amused to have a person in my dream I have never met. It was my first virtual encounter in an semi-conscious state.</description>

					<description>Thanks GB! I'm looking forward to my trip too. I hope the squishy stuff's benefits outweigh its downside. </description>

					<description>What a ride!  I look forward to following you in your adventure - even with the squishy stuff Yam mentions in your unmentionables.</description>

					<description>You'll want to use Chamois Butt'r or some such.  This has saved me from grueling saddle sores on longs rides.  Ride commando in your biking shorts and just before you pull 'em up, squirt a dose onto the chamois and hike 'em up.  The next 30 seconds are, uh, funky, but as the goo warms and melts, you're set.  60 miles into your ride, you'll be happy for having done this no matter how cold and squishy it feels at first...</description>
