Hi everyone,
After my first "marathon" off road race of just over 20 miles, I developed blisters where I never even dreamed possible before. Talk about pain- yikes! LOL Anyway, I've decided it's time to try a different saddle before the next marathon. I like the idea of a cutout, so I am trying those first. Last week I bought a Specialized Jett and took it for a two hour road ride. My front parts felt wonderful, but my sit bones hurt like crazy by the time I was done. I went out again the next day and they still ached when I sat on the bike. Other than the sit bone pain, I really liked this saddle. I have read about how it takes time to break saddles in, so I am wondering: if I hang on to this saddle will the pain go away? I don't ride all that much- only about four or five days a month. Also, since I don't ride over the winter, when I get on the bike next year, will I start all over with the pain? Thanks for your help!
