I didn't know where to post - Re: Bruised Butt
I rode in my first organized long ride this weekend - the Seattle to Portland Classic. I've never ridden a century, let along 204 miles in a weekend. I rode 128 miles on Saturday and 76 miles on Sunday. I am a relatively new rider. Though I officially started riding in 2001, I never rode more than 30 miles in any given outing until this year.
I admit that I didn't train as much as I should have and my butt told me so. So much that I have some brusing near my sitz bones. Is that normal? I did train some, and I don't think I had this problem when I was increasing my mileage and getting my butt used to being in the saddle.
Thoughts?
