Stock saddles are rarely comfortable. May I suggest, if you haven't already done so, that you get yourself a good pair of padded cycling shorts. I also use chamois butt'r from paceline, it reduces friction and helps the skin slide in the shorts. Makes longer rides more tollerable.

If you already have shorts, get the chamois cream. Then start thinking about the saddle, and get one with the cutout in the center (relieves pressure in the obvious area).

This was my intended ride this morning, 78 miles out and back.

I started out the day with 218 miles on my legs for the week. I rode out to meet up with the About Bicycles 80 mile ride of the Keystone Heights Rollers but, I just never really had it this morning. The first hill in Middleberg put the true doubt in my head, so I decided I'd pull off. But where can I go once I'm south ...of 218? I turned off at Thunder Rd and fought the wind solo for 21 miles home.

I know others do more than I however, over the last 6 weeks I've ridden 1700 miles averaging 283 miles a week, or 40 miles a day (avg 18 mph) and no days off the bike.

Very tired now.
