Saddle On

The saddle was delivered to my neighbour yesterday so I received it last night. I called up Race Scene this morning and they said to pop over and they would put it on according to my measurements from my previous bike fitting. "pop over" - sat nav took me on the long route via M60, M62, M1 - adding 30 miles to the journey. Last time I went via Stockport but I assumed that it must know something that I didn't and decided to follow it anyway.
The saddle was put on quickly - just a small increase in height to accommodate the greater flex in the saddle - and we were back on the right road to Manchester.
I have tried 3 minutes on my rollers - it feels very different. My sit bones are very much in contact with the saddle and left dimples on the leather. It felt quite different to my old saddle. I'm having doubts about this last minute change before the Caledonia. Tomorrow's ride will be a better indicator - I'll wear my Assos shorts tomorrow to get a better idea of how they will all work together and if I'm going to be sticking with the saddle for Sunday or reverting back to the old one and starting again on Monday with the Selle Anatomica.

Boil seems to be only Cat & Fiddle like silhouette now.

UPDATE: tried 30 mins out on the road. I don't want to get too enthusiastic about it; it's early days and the true test will be on Sunday. However, it did feel comfortable - there didn't seem to be any pressure on the front. Assos shorts, which are sometimes a little uncomfortable with my old saddle seemed to work quite well with this saddle. I'm feeling quite positive about using the new saddle at the weekend. Tomorrow I'm going to test on a longer ride - 25 miles or so, don't want to do too much as I'm on countdown for Sunday - with all my sportive kit on too. The boil didn't hurt at all on the ride today.
