Hi there,

I have been browsing for awhile..finally have the courage to speak up. I am very new to this amazing activity. I have lost 85lbs and still have a long way to go(135lb). Riding is helping me in so many ways. Anyway..my fanny is sore all the time. I ride 7 miles daily on streets that vary in grade..some hills that are kicking my but. So..now here is the deal..am I doing something wrong..or does it just take time to condition my botton. I have just orderd the padded biking shorts from this site and hopefully that will help. I am riding a very entry level K2 hybrid bike. My goal is distance riding. Last weekend I did 10 miles...this weekend I am going for 15. Eventually the STP..oh my..is that possible? whew...

Thanks in advance.

Tasha
