Oh, I knew the saddle would not break in; it was me that needed broken in. I road 380 miles on the saddle (you can’t call it a saddle it was a seat), and it never gave me a good ride. It had way to much padding, and was wide. Being a big dog, I figured it was just me. Well I got a Bontrager Comfort Saddle for men, and after stopping a couple of times to adjust it, it felt great! I didn’t have the squishy parts of the seat that weren’t squished by my sit bone bunching up on me and causing some serious discomfort. As a mater of fact there was no discomfort at all. The old seat had about an inch and a quarter deflection, where this one has at most an eighth.

Usually I would wake up in the morning a little sore around the behind areas, but today I feel great. I just can’t believe how much different a saddle makes. Like night and day.

Anyhow I have to run. Thanks to everyone (Including the guys at Boardman Cycle Center) for all your help.
