I always take a couple of months off in winter. I need to take a break and do something else for a while.

This year I've noticed I'm more sore when riding the bike indoors - after only 1/2 hour, my butt is killing me. It's the same saddle that I've had for years, but it's been repositioned lately, so maybe that's having an effect. The upside is, I know without a doubt that I am sitting on my sitz bones. Because I can feel it!
