Embarassing Saddle Issues...

Wow, I thought I was the only one who went through this! LOL

I use a good chamois under my baggies, but it wasn't enough. I bought a gel saddle. It looks on the bigger side for my mountain bike, but I don't give a crap-- this is my pink parts we're talking about! Image means nothing compared to the well-being of that!

I also tilted the saddle down just a shade, which solved the problem almost entirely. I say almost, because if I'm on my bike doing lift runs for 6 or more hours, it is bound to get numb and hurt. After all, there's only so much impact the poor thing can take!

today on bicycling.com there was an interesting article on homemade and simple otc remedies for saddle issues.
