Thanks, Zen, I don't quite understand why clinical terms are so difficult to use.It certainly takes the guess work out of the conversation.

Twinkie, THAT'S it.
I agree with Grog and all the others. It is very important that you get a bike fit done by an expert, and it probably would go best if you went by yourself so you could feel free to say, Hey, it hurts THERE; can you fix that? THEN you can set about making saddle decisions, and you may well want to change at that point.

my hubby may actually think of the pastry...then it would lead into a whole 'nother dicussion!

I am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.
I have nothing in the way of advice to add as everyone else has pretty much covered it....but, I have 2 selle italia lady gel flow saddles lying around that I do not need anymore. They worked great for me on rides under 50 miles but now that my mileage has increased, I have switched to a selle an-atomica. If you would like to try the gel flow, I will ship one to you at no cost and you can give it a whirl. You don't need to feel like you have to buy it or anything, I am just trying to help you out. PM me if you are interested.
