I have been riding for a few months and have been several short rides (30 miles or less) and a few long rides (40+ miles). On all of these ride my vaginal area gets really sore. Like someone kicked me. As I sit here right now (two days after my last ride) it still hurts. I "upgraded" the saddle when I bought the bike, so I don't think it is that. I am thinking it may be my reach to the handlebars. Against my better judgement, I did not get a women's specific bike. I am not short, but I am all legs, very high waisted, and very short arms. I have been concerned with the reach from day one, but the men at the store that the bike fit fine. They had to get me a shorter stem, though. Also making me think it is the reach is that my neck and shoulders hurt too. So, can anyone offer any advice? I lobe riding , but hate the pain.
