thanks for all the help. I don't think it's the sit bones hurting- there's a slightly bruised feeling to them, but it's not pain like I felt yesterday. The pain was the whole saddle contact area, and my tailbone (which wasn't even in contact with the saddle). It hurt worse immediately when I took pressure off the saddle, but quit hurting once I'd been off for several minutes. It started about halfway through the ride. I tried sitting up more, or leaning over more, but it didn't make a difference. I didn't try changing the angle of the saddle, I can try that today (if it doesn't rain me out).
thanks again
