Imagine that. It's actually kind of counter intuitive going for a HARDER saddle with less cush. After all how can this hard, skinny piece of leather/plastic be better than the nice cushy gel filled one? Try one and you'll see.
And 30 miles is quite a distance. Give yourself some time to increase your distance. I'm sure Lance didn't hop on his bike one day and a couple months later was riding for 100 miles averaging 25mph. These things take time. Increase your distance slowly and change the seat (try someone elses?) and you'll be joe six pack in November.
Well maybe not quite that drastic or half the people on here would be underwear models
but you'll definitely see the difference by November if you stick with it.
Good Luck and let us know how you did before you go for the cruise
