Default Public Service Announcement: Your Saddle
Given its location, it's no surprise that your saddle smells like a$$. Please, for the good of the entire community, spray Lysol or a similar disinfecting/deodorizing product on your saddle. Your friends will thank you, or you won't have any friends left.

Some people's saddles can be smelled from a distance, hence the PSA.

I won't name names (since I don't know them anyway) but I ran into a group of riders in CHSP at 4 corners. The bikes were all in the rack, and some of them had major saddle funk that was catching the breeze over to the picnic tables. It was bad, very bad.

Are you sure it was their saddles?
Maybe they were just re-fueling with Powerbar's new "Steamy Crack Flavor"

You sure the source wasn't hidden in the persons shorts and spilled onto his saddle???

Well, I didn't investigate each person's shorts, but if you've even been to 4 Corners in CHSP, you know the bike rack is a good 10 feet from the picnic tables. A row of bikes should not smell like crap when you are that far away...

I have never thought to clean my saddle. That probably means I'm one of the guys who's seat stinks. Maybe I'll hang one of those tree fresheners from it.

There's a thread on empty-beer that is quite famous and hilarious... "Help, my saddle smells like ass!" So funny. This guy bought a used bike and couldn't get the funk out of the saddle... it may have been a put-on, cause the guy only posted like 5 times in that specific thread and never again.
