On the first five rides I had been experimenting with some seat changes I actually rode with no seat pad at all. Plus it had been chilly and windy. On October 5th I decided to put the seat pad back on, plus it was a warmer day with no wind. It ended up being an excellent ride The average speed was over 20mph until I decided to ride into town traffic.
