100km bike ride Thursday + bike saddle advice

Hi guys. I hope this double thread will work.

I am looking for company for 100km ride leaving mid morning this Thursday out into Kent somewhere. Preferably not too hilly but I just need to get the miles in.

2nd, I am looking for advice on saddles. I know it's a personal thing but any advice appreciated. I have read a bit about ISM Adamo. Balfes stock Pro Falcon with different widths and have female geometry. Or would anyone have a second hand saddle they're not using for trial and/or sale?

Kindly grateful for any advice.

Hi Urszula, I could set off for a bit with you tomorrow, but I won't be doing 100km. Would 10am from Cadence be ok with you?

We can talk saddles like that, been having bit of a 'mare with mine recently... ;)  Fizik Antares, booo!!

Hi Jake. I'm dropping off my bike for a service first thing at 8am. There's a good chance I won't be ready for 10am set off. Sorry about that. Where were you thinking of going? With all this saddle business I shall continue my research with a possible trial tomorrow.

Yep does seem unlikely, no worries. Just going to do 60km past Westerham and the like. Can probably head off round 10.30 if that helps.

I would be grateful for a slightly later start. I added you as a friend there so we can exchange phone numbers via private message.

As Francesco said I picked up my saddle from Sigma - specialized. The use a memory foam seat thingy to ensure you get the right saddle width for you pelvic bones. If you are cycling through Kingston worth stopping by, they are very helpful in store. I have not had any problems with the one that I picked up.

I might be up for a cycle tomorrow and could do the later start (but don't have any routes off the top of my head). Call me later today or early tomorrow to organise a possible time.
