I'm going to try going without, tomorrow, because I'll be riding less than 40 miles.Hughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348874130055249951.post-8434494300709355992011-09-18T17:16:49.931-07:002011-09-18T17:16:49.931-07:00Oh, and congratulations on your fast ride!

Your butt just gets tough. If you haven't been riding it takes a few weeks, but your ass will adjust. The pain stops and you can ride for hours without hardly any discomfort. You might need to ease into it. I can't tell by your description, but if you are not wearing padded bike shorts, I would get a good pair and wear them under your pants. And, you DO NOT wear underwear in those bike shorts. Your body is right next to that chamois pad. If you wear underwear you will get the worst butt pain ever.<br />LeslieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
