While I was getting fitted for my new bike Glenn suggested we get both get Brooks saddles.  He measured our sit bones on the assometer.  Yes there is actually a gizmo that measures how big your arse is.  Well actually where your bony bits are on your bum.  It was very funny.  Ralf sat down first and Glenn commented on how narrow his sit bones were – I immediately responded \”oh Sweet Cheeks\”  I sat down and of course having wider sit bones Ralf noted \”Fat Arse\”.  We were laughing helplessly while Glenn, I think, wondered if I would get upset at Ralf for calling me fat arse. I, of course thought it was hilariously funny, as I do not have a fat arse.  The funny thing was Sweet Cheeks stuck and we laughed about it all the way home.

The next day Glenn called to tell me I should think about the colour of the bike and also informed me I could name my bike.  I could have my name on it, a nick-name or name the bike.  Ralf and I discussed it and we decided on Mrs Sweet Cheeks.  We thought it would be a great ice-breaker if people chatted to us on the route and possibly the name for the blog.
