Saddle pain - is this normal for a new rider?

[ninerfan]

I have the Specialized Jett and recently completed my first century. My sit bones did start to get sore around the 70 mile mark, but I figure it was simply a function of sitting in the saddle for so long. It wasn't a soreness that made it difficult to ride and I would happily ride another century on my Jett.

The Jett certainly does have less padding so for me, at least initially, I kind of had to train my seat bones to get used to it. That, and a good pair of shorts!

Good luck!
