I am able to ride 40-45 mi. (longest ride since the season started here) without discomfort on my Avatar. At this point I'm about 188 lbs and hoping to be down to 175 by season's end. My theory is less weight on the saddle will equal less pressure on the sitz bones. I have no clue if this even makes sense so I guess I'll find out.
