Sore arse!!! Try and keep your minds out of the gutter.

Had a great day. Left at 8 oclock this morning to go see someone further round the bay. Then went back towards the city , to my favorite bit of beach, for a swim, and then the cycle home. Now I am metaphorically speaking Buggered! As for my arse, even with the padding, I can still feel it bad!( or maybe i can't feel it). Trip total for the day was 81.4K. Not bad as I'm riding on cycle paths with my Nobbly tyres. Thats almost a thousand calories, so I've been very good and just had salad, and now it's time for a fresh fruit smoothie!
I feel really good. I just wish I did'nt have to take my Trippy meds now!

You do have a seat on your bicycle don't you?

You need to change your position on the seat quite often and stand up occasionally. It eventually becomes used to it and the soreness goes away.

Sometimes it may be a case that your seat is too soft.

Oh Hahaha, yes I do have a seat, tho that does give me an idea! seriously tho, I'll try that out too. The seat is actually a hard seat, I did'nt want a comfort seat as such. I think it's just a case of having done more today than usual. I'm ok tho, will be out again on Sunday too.

Having tried all sorts of seats in the past, a lot which are supposed to be comfortable and include things like gel inserts etc, I now only use leather saddles such as the San Marco Rolls on my Giant OCR1 or the old original Mundialita on the old Miyata 1200. Both seats feel a bit firm when I first sit on them, but after a couple of kilometres I totally forget about them, which is a good sign. Leather has the advantage of moulding to the shape of your backside over time, so if it doesn't feel quite right initially, give it a bit of time and it gets more comfortable over time.
