When the legs tire, the rider sits harder on the saddle, and that's when the trouble starts. Many saddle complaints are actually traceable to fatigue caused by starting out the season with a longer ride than you are ready for.

Ya, I am more of the thinking that all this time I have been too relaxed and sitting on the saddle too much. Now that I put myself in a more aggressive position, i.e. leaning forward a little more that I am now taking weight off my butt and putting it in my legs. If that is the case then it is just a matter of a little conditioning of the quads and I should be good to go. Still looking into a Brooks though.
