WARNING: Possible TMI

It occurred to me the other day I should have put a warning on my piano tuner rant.  Nobody cares about my issues with a piano tuner.  But I had to get it out of my system.  So "thanks" to you guys who read it and commiserated in my misery.

On that note I realized I should put a warning on this entry too.  But it's not a rant.  It's more of too-much-info in nature.  But if you're my friend then you're used to this anyway so read on.  (the voices in my head are asking me why bother with the warning 'cuz ya'll know I share TMI all the time anyway.  Good question.  I must have a full discussion with voices at a later date.  Full conversations to ones' self in the office could lead to psych eval or immediate dismissal.)

Folks, I remember why I'm not a lover of cycling.  Yeah, I know, I've done two century rides but that was to spend more time with the hubby.  I don't hate it per se....  it's just not my favorite.  And here's why.

I've been taking spinning classes for the past few weeks.  I never even bothered to get my bike out this year so this class was my first time back in the saddle since last year's century ride.  Over the weekend I noticed some numbness.  And this numbness wasn't in my fingertips.....  (for those of you still clueless, I am referring to female anatomy that, when shortened, rhymes with "pit".  With me now??)

Using the phrase that MH prefers - This ain't doing it for the "marital relations", if you catch my drift.  And we all know that, generally speaking, married folks usually have their own slew of issues over this matter so I don't need to be contributing to the problem.  I'm only interested in finding solutions!!

Which I must point out is ironic since one of the reasons I started this whole endeavor was to also lose a few pounds to perk up my self image thus to perk up....  well you get the idea.  And now that has backfired.

So, in my usual manner what do I do??  I ask my tri-coach, TM, if she too has heard of this issue and has any solutions.  Last might was my second time meeting with her.  If I'm anything I'm not shy.  But it appears I'm not the only one suffering from "Ahcantfeelmyclititis". 

I knew they made saddles with cut outs for guys. (to stop putting pressure on nerves that are "down there" that in turn cause numbness and possible other issues.)  But I didn't know they made then for women too!

See the "complete cutaway is comfortable on soft tissues"??  Yeah - this is what I need.  The problem?  This saddle is $75...  They have another one that I'd actually prefer...  but it's $135.  And of course - this is only for my road bike.  Can't do anything about the spinning bikes they have in the gym. 
Well honey - if you want to know what to get my for Christmas.....  (BTW  http://www.terrybicycles.com/)
