Sorry for the slang, but it's the easiest way to describe it. I did a 100 mile ride yesterday with a lot of climbing, I ended up in the saddle for about 7.5 hours. My gooch was incredibly sore, I actually had to walk around for a bit before I could sit in the car for the 3 hour ride home. Was I simply in the saddle too long, is it normal to have a REALLY sore gooch?

Saddles with a cutout solved all my gooch pain issues.

This Gooch is kind of cute and I love her Garfunkel and Oates act as seen on Leno several times.

I'm not sure why she is causing you pain though.

I'm sure they teach that stuff in medical school.

Wow, just wow. I think any one of the above 6 would have been sufficient , but thanks for the info.
OP, A saddle that fits, and that is a subject of at least a thousand threads, will solve your problem.

No, I missed the class on gooch, taint whatever. I made up for it on my colorectal surgery rotation. Gooch is a new slang for me. So at least I can say I learned something on BF.

Makes you wonder where all those suppositories that you prescribed went.

For the OP, sounds like your saddle did let you down. I did 100 miles myself last weekend and the last 30 or so were not fun. I keep trying different saddles but always seem to come back to my Brooks. I have a goal of doing at least 50 miles a day for this long 4 day weekend and once again my Brooks saddle is saving my butt, ... literally! Have tried over a dozen "modern" style saddles and for me nothing comes close to the Brooks although I don't find them perfect. I have to run my Brooks nose up to fight the sliding forward feeling and then that gets uncomfortable after being in the drops for awhile. My suggestion is to find a local shop that will give you loaner saddles and keep hunting until you find one that works for you. Once you do, buy more than one of them. The perfect saddle is a goal many of us still aspire to reach.

I went for a 100 mile ride yesterday and my gooch did not hurt at all. It could be your saddle, it could be that you need a bike fit or perhaps your gooch is just not used to so many hours on the bike.

Laughed my @$$ off. wow!

That is exactly what I was thinking about.

I say gooch...but I also have an old friend named Gooch...he's puerto rican and is my rotary motor expert. Long story short...I was concerned for my friend when I read the topic...

Ha ha, I haven't heard the term gooch for about 12 years. Thanks for the chuckle!

Look for a more comfortable saddle, There are more than a few posts on this subject to peruse. I'm currently happy with Brooks and no cut out. My wife likes the cut out on her Selle Anatomica.

I will tell you a somewhat amusing story, had an intern and sent him to evaluate a new consult with rectal bleeding. Came back very excited with the news that the patient had a rectal mass, which being the good intern that he was, he biopsied. Four days later the result came back- he had biopsied the cervix. Oops, wrong hole, guess he missed that day in anatomy.

Brooks Professional, it's what I always come back to.

So to clarify, Gooch is the male specific term for taint. Taint can be used for either gender. To close the loop is there a female specific term for taint?
