10.8 miles ride today. My longest so far.
Maybe I will upgrade the seat. I ain't that tough.
Definitely used turbo to get me back quicker which was fun.
Had my first fall sort of. Stumbled off to the left while trying to start on a hill.
I proudly recovered but the bike got its first scratch. All good.
I know those biker shorts aren’t for everyone but the padding in them upgrades any seat. I wear mine under my baggy cargo shorts to save the community the sight of me in tights. 😜
 
This bike is the best shifting bike I have owned.
What a great investment for health and entertainment.
I use assist when I need help on a hill or get me through tight spots on roads.
So far I scratched it, got it dusty and fell off one time. ☑️ Experience right?
I have been gaining confidence each time out and lost 15 pounds doing it.

Now IMO You would benefit greatly With a Redshift Seatpost and Stem for this bike . Definitely the Seatpost is the best upgrade you can make / Probably would save you buying a new seat
 
I ride a 9.9s The Allant is a great bike. If you find the hard tail a bit tough on the tush, I highly recommend a Kinekt Body Float suspension seat post. It makes a big difference when adjusted properly, which is easy to do by following the videos on their site.

Looking back at these post I think the seat post will be a reward after I lose weight.
