				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the past few years I have named the cut out or indention in the saddles for women &#8220;cooter holes.&#8221;  No, it isn&#8217;t PC but neither are all the people making saddles for women with out even having a variety of women testing them prior to selling hundreds to unknowing souls.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fizik.com/" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fizik.com%2F','fi%22zi%3Ak')" target="_blank"><strong>fi&#8217;zi:k</strong></a> knows saddles.  They are one of the top selling road saddles for guys that I&#8217;ve seen, among Selle Italia and such.  They have one womens saddle that has been on the market for some years called the <strong><a href="http://www.fizik.com/products_womensaddles.aspx" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fizik.com%2Fproducts_womensaddles.aspx','Vitesse')" target="_blank">Vitesse</a></strong>.  I tried riding this saddle for a while 2 years back, and suffered.  My soft tissues needed a &#8220;cooter hole&#8221;  or indention, or something that the Vitesse did not have.  I quickly swapped saddles back and continued on with life.</p>
<p><a href="http://bikeshopgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/side.jpg" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fbikeshopgirl.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2009%2F12%2Fside.jpg','fi')"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-930" title="fi'zi:k Vesta" src="http://bikeshopgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/side.jpg" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fbikeshopgirl.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2009%2F12%2Fside.jpg','fi')" alt="fi'zi:k Vesta" width="136" height="80" /></a></p>
<p>Now there is a new saddle from fi&#8217;zi:k called <strong>Vesta.</strong> They are marketing this with a &#8220;pressure relief channel&#8221; or a cooter hole.  That comfortable place to put your soft tissues out of pressure and harm. Other than this, the saddle is the same shape as the prior model I spoke about, the Vitesse.   <strong>The base price is $129.99</strong>, within range of most all fi&#8217;zi:k saddles, and higher end Terry saddles as well.</p>
<p>I hope to land one of these in my hands during the long, boring and painful base miles to see how their &#8220;pressure relief channel&#8221; really holds up.</p>
