HELP!!! I have perused the saddle forum for help but I need a more narrow answer than many of the threads there provide.

I am training (with TNT ) for my first century in June, riding a Trek 1000 wsd which I have been very happy with. I am NOT happy, unsurprisingly, with the Bontrager saddle that came with the bike. Initially it wasn't too bad, but as the miles have grown, the saddle has become a nightmare. Yesterday on our 46 mile ride I barely made it. If it had been 50, I might have waived the white flag.

I tried the Terry Liberator X Gel and Firefly, and neither worked for me. I liked the length and width of the Firefly nose and the cutout, but the back was not wide enough for my seat bones. I am looking for a saddle that is more of the T shape, with a long, narrow nose, a cutout, and a wider back. Any ideas? I'd like to get a handle on this, preferably before we break 50!

Thanks Ladies
