I had gained 12 - 14 pounds since retiring. This summer I've lost 10 pounds of that and I'm getting close to high school weight of 158 pounds. The result has been that a saddle that previously was comfortable for 50 miles or more, this year became uncomfortable after about 20 miles. I've spent the past few weeks messing with that saddle and a few others that are near the same shape. I'm back to the preciously comfortable saddle and seem to have found a slightly different orientation that works but it is a matter tiny changes. The lesson for me is to keep working with a saddle and riding as much as possible while looking for relief whether it be from a different saddle or your old one.
