I took time off of riding for various reasons -- knee injury, family activities, partying with friends, travel -- and started riding again recently.

My ass hurts!

Maybe it's cuz I know what should and shouldn't hurt, but with the crap saddles that come with bikes these days, I'm surprised as many newbies transition to regular riders.

Hehe, this reminds of the time I tried out a new saddle (Selle SLR) on a century ride. If that wasn't bad enough, it was my first road ride in about a year. My "boys" didn't feel right for a few days.

Sella SMP. Greatest saddle ever. First saddle that did not give me numbness. But when you look at it, you konw why...

wow, new saddle on a century? You're either hardcore or crazy!

I'd argue that the greatest saddle is the Brooks. Never been numb, never had sores or irritation.

How much did you pay for that saddle?

 

[stoney]

nothing. I"m demo'ing it

It's about $200 retail though.

I always feel the burn during my first long ride in the spring.

I don't think any saddle in the world is going to stop your ass from hurting those first couple of rides after a riding hiatus.
