    Back in the Saddle Again- YOuch!

    So I'm doing this indoor cycling class every Tuesday night- we bring our own bikes and trainers and ride about 2 hrs of drills. I hadn't been on my bike (even trainer) for a couple months (bad girl, I know), so I was expecting some saddle sore, but man! The first week was unbearable. Then the second was slightly better, but last night was week 5 and we're still talking serious bruising to the point that I can hardly stand to get on the trainer in between classes. Maybe my SMP isn't good for me afterall?? I have the TRK because I have wide sitbones (hovering near 160mm) and need some major relief in the girly bits zone, so it's great that it's supporting my bones and not squashing things, but I thought I'd be past the bruising by now. Should I be look at other saddles? I went through a ton last year to find the SMP. The only thing I think I haven't tried is a Brooks. How long do those take to break in? I need some instant relief if I'm going to shell out for yet another saddle.

    Oh, and I haven't tried fiziks... and it looks like there's some new serfas ones on TE- anyone tried them?
