Thanks for the encouragement everyone (except D*Alex). I'm not giving up on the prolink yet. My butt feels ready to go, and I hope to ride tomorrow after work. You're right about the mileage, Rainman. It's more than I thought prudent after a long layoff, but I wanted to make up for lost time. Besides, I felt so good, I could have done another 10. That's what made the saddle pain so discouraging.
