But it made me wonder about riding the 600 Km brevet -- getting back on the saddle after a few hours of sleep near the 400 Km mark. But is there really a saddle that you can ride those kind of distances and finish not thinking about your tush?
I'd be curious if you tried the Selle An Atomica to hear what you thought of it. I find mine does not ever make me sore at any distance, but I am just a beginner at longer distance riding (200k distance completion only). It is the most comfy thing I have used at any distances and was the final enabler to get me through the chafing and soreness i used to get at 60 - 70 miles...
