Post Ipoh Century and Cameron's weekend rides plus Antares review

After last weekend's exploits in Malaysia it was tough to start the engine again! On Saturday did a solo 30km and encountered a puncture. Luckily I had a spare from Ben. Upon getting home, I immediately ordered a pair of gatorskins tubulars. Plus, brand new Las Histrionic to replace my trusty laser helmet. I hope it FITS! On Sunday managed to arrange a short 60km ride with kl and Felix. Started at 6.30am and ended around 1015am. Slow pace just to loosen the legs bit. No punctures! I must admit that I'm losing confidence fast in tubular tires after my fourth puncture of the year yesterday. Now the Antares.......first ride on Saturday initially felt not too good. I seem to be slipping despite flat saddle tilt. After fixing the puncture, I tilted the saddle up and after that it felt much better. On Sunday I moved the saddle about a cm forward and it felt even better! The saddle is firm compared to the charge knife. It has a wide flat section and I can really feel my sit bone...
