The same bone that I broke in a car accident about 10 years ago. I have not felt this pain before on my commutes to work. So I may have just over exerted myself a little. Now 2 hours later my hip is a little stiff. Thinking if this happens whenever I do a long ride I may want to invest in a new saddle. Any recommendations? Thanks
Good/Bad? It's good that you rode. If you are asking if your time is good, i would say it is good for someone that hasn't ridden a lot. Also depends on terrain, wind, width of tires, tread of tires, etc. If you rode that on a knobby tired mountain bike on pavement with some wind, that is a decent time. Probably about 2-3 mph behind a rider with a lot of miles under his belt in better than average condition. (me
