Donna congrats on a ride well done. Not many people would be able to ride 30 miles on a bike. Your a smart gal to ride at your own fun level, so you'll be raring to get on your bike another day. My last ride I went to my 1/2 point and called for a ride because I didn't want to ride against a headwind and a storm that was coming in. I'm looking forward to hearing about more bike adventures from Donna.
Ditto! Your objective is to have fun, not to hurt. You did the right thing and did Great!Quote:

Here's a simple little trick that a friend of mine taught me recently: Whenever you're going downhill, lift your butt up off the seat just a little, for even a few seconds to take the pressure off. If you do that consistently from the start of a ride---long before any pain or chafing begins---it can help to relieve or delay some of the 'ouch' later on. I tend to sit too still on long rides, just pedalin' along, until I suddenly realize that my bottom is hurtin'. So on my last long rides, I've been trying to follow my friend's advice; it's a small thing, but it makes a difference! (Edit: Did it today on a 24-mile ride; finished my jaunt without a bit of saddle soreness!)
