Try it before you start down the rabbit hole of comfortable saddles.
Concur, BUT with the caveat that if you want to ride farther than 25 miles at a pop, you will need to go down that rabbit hole.

I have noticed that the structured workouts tend to be harder on the tuchus than free riding, because you remain seated the whole time. I've taken to standing up on hills a lot more than I do IRL - basically whenever the grade goes over 5%, whereas IRL I tend to climb seated until the grade's more like 10%.
