I've been cycling regularly for over 18 years im 31...When i used to live in canada back in 98 (Ottowa) I fell off the side a mountain while mountain biking. Broke my arm, two ribs, cracked my melon. Anyway. When I was being x-rayed, the MD on staff asked me if I cycle. I said yea... How do you know?

He showed me my xray of my ass...I had calcium buildup on the inside of my sitbones. I think I'm getting the medical term right?

He showed me a non rider. Very different.

You've got to build a tolerance. It's tough in the beginning. I actually had to be taught how to sit correctly. How the height if your seatpost is actually more important than the saddle. If your seatpost is incorrect then you will have soar ass AND sore hands....
Had to learn how to actually sit on my bone vs my meat...I really don't have any meat. I have no ass.

It's so damned confusing.

Go through a bunch of saddles. See if your LBS has a saddle test program.
Just go out and ride. Take a day break between riding with soreness....

It will get better I promise.
