Follow my continuing passion to explore new adventures on Porsche bicycles. I have conquered a Century ride with a Porsche mountain bike, the Death Ride on a Porsche touring bike, the 184.5-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in 2020, the 370-mile combined C&O/GAP trail in 2021 and the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride in 2022. And just completed the Maryland and California Coast & Coast Porsche road bike adventure!

New saddle and mud guard on 1998 Porsche Bike S
While continuing to celebrate Oktoberfest, I installed the new saddle and mud guard on the 1998 Porsche Bike S. From the photo, it's easy to tell that the new saddle has way more cushioning than the old. My original saddle, although I was able to ride 100 miles, isn't ideal for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Towpath 184.5 miles. So installing the Ergon SMC4-M Sport Gel saddle was ideal for the job. I also installed the SKS mudguard to help avoid backsplash on the off-road adventure in 2020. I think it looks pretty slick, but I am drinking beer so what do I know.
