That's good to hear. Butt endurance is one thing I haven't tested myself for. I ride at least an hour a day, but seldom in more than 30 min chunks. I'm about to diverge to something probably better for another forum, but a coworker, long-distance/endurance freak, thought my commute plus another 1-2 hr uninterrupted ride per week should gear me up for most anything. I guess that's not quite the kind of training for a 200 mile butt on saddle jaunt, but maybe could add up to something.
