Not sure what to do - shorts & new seat

[Fish Lady]

Oh, but I beg to differ.
A bad saddle or shorts make themselves evident to me at just about that mileage.

my new saddle caresses my cheeks the moment I sit down

WOW, sounds great! What kind of saddle is it????

After a longer ride and a shorter one, I think I need something to change... just don't know which one.... saddle or shorts ... I may try to change the postion of the saddle and see how that goes tomorrow.

I used some cheap shorts when I first started riding, I made sure I found the right saddle to get the most comfort. Then I moved to better chamois shorts. My suggestion, don't do long rides with a new and uncomfortable saddle. I was riding with friends, and "just couldn't change it" and I paid for it for 3 days. When you get the right saddle, you will know. It took me like 3 or 4 before I found the right one. Both of my saddles have cut outs and gels. They are from the same maker but different styles. Make sure your shorts are well fitting, my friend didn't want "tight" shorts and her chamois pad was drooping off of her. I've convinced her to go a size smaller in shorts so the chamois isn't hanging. She doesn't have that bunching feeling anymore. Ill fitting shorts cause problems too.

It's a Terry Falcon X and it's on a road bike.
Now if I can just find a good saddle for the hybrid

Shelly's right about the shorts too. Tight,tight,tight and no center seams!
