Hi gang... I've been off the forum for a few weeks because I've been off my bike and sooooo sad about it! Shortly after my solo country roads ride that I was so proud of, I came down with really bad pain at my left sit bone when on the bike. I went to the doctor who felt around back there [lucky him ]. He informed me that it was the tendon connecting my hamstring to the sit bone that was inflamed. I was to rest for a while.

So, now that I'm rested, and the pain is gone, I want to avoid another flare-up. Doc suggested a fitting and/or a softer saddle. Now, I recently switched from a Terry Butterfly that was too soft (squished my private parts) to a Specialized Ruby that felt good. However, I'm thinking it must be too firm for me if I developed this issue.

Can anyone recommend a saddle that is less squishy than the Terry but softer than the Ruby? Also has anyone else had this problem, and what did you do?
