1) Wear bike shorts, with nothing between the chamois and your skin.

2) Pre-medicate with acetominophen or ibuprofen until your butt is "broken in."

3) Change your riding position (e.g. drops vs hoods) throughout the ride to change the pressure points on your butt, and stand or otherwise come off the saddle at times.

4) Keep riding! It will get better.
