Before the Fuji I was riding a women's Giant Cypress, comfort bike w/ a comfort saddle, rode it regularly for 3 months, put my first 20 mile ride in on it. On the Fuji I had done more than just two 20 mile rides, they were just the longest, I hadn't noticed any soreness on the shorter rides. Since my first post I've still been riding regularly (although be it not as much as I'd like with the cold and it's been terribly rainy here in Southern Illinois), I've gotten 3 30 mile rides in w/ the soreness after each one (as I stated earlier, don't notice the soreness on the shorter 10 mile rides).
I'll have to try the "sit on a curb" thing and compare it to where my sit bones are at on the bike saddle. I have a pretty good idea that it won't be the same, I think that's why I'm carrying the brunt of my weight "up front" and getting squished thus feeling sore and bruised afterwards. Tilted the saddle down slightly and the soreness wasn't quite as bad on my last 20 mile ride (was definatley still sore though)........that really makes me think a woman specific saddle would make a difference too.
