THE Saddle!

[Catrin]

I think that my search for a saddle has ended 60 miles today on my new SI Lady Gel Flow - which translates to 4:47 in the saddle. No numbing on the sides, NO sore/swollen soft tissue, and not the slightest pain ANYWHERE! This is the first time that I can say that since my first ride that exceeded 22 miles.

I am a very happy woman indeed I know that as my mileage base gets larger that eventually something will enter the picture - can't spend 10 hours in the saddle without consequences of some kind - but I will certainly take this I think that 60 miles is an excellent saddle test! Lubrication helps a lot, but it won't cure a saddle that doesn't work for you - no matter how much you want it to...

Yay!

Phew! I feel lucky that I found my perfect (or as near perfect as I can expect without custom) saddle on only the 3rd try!

That's right, OWLIE is responsible! Thank you, thank you, thank you for suggesting this saddle

I love my SI Lady Gel Flo also...however, I have developed a mean saddle sore right on the crease between my leg and crotch area on the left side. It's probably related to the way I sit on the saddle since my accident in '05 in which I fractured both the bones on the lower right side of my pelvis (pubic rami and ...?) I can't blame the saddle; it's really comfy, supports my sit bones perfectly, and so long as I pay attention while riding, I can keep the saddle sore from bothering me too much. But I really do want it to GO AWAY.

Glad it's working for you! 60 miles is indeed a good test!
