padded riding shorts which seem to help.
Same here, my first ride yesterday was a short 10mi paved bike trail. I could just imagine the pain if I were to of gone off-road
heheh.
I guess I will shoot out this morning and work it out. I noticed lastnight when riding around the block the pain went away little by little as I rode longer.
I need to get me some sexor shorts also...but I want the lose ones not the skin tight (get my butt kicked in town) shorts heheh.
