HI Pedalfaster.

That's what I thought about the "toughen the tush" thing! hahah

Yes, I do get take breaks frequently and get off the seat. I have a really good pair of bike shorts and I believe I have my bike set up right i.e. seat height, handlebar adjustment etc. I know my bike is a little too big for me but I can't afford a new one right now so will have to make do. Its a 16" and I really need about a 14 or 15", as I am short at 5'2" with a short inseam measurement. Anyway, I will give the saddle some more time and see how my soft tissue feels then maybe consider a trying something else. I wondered about those cut out saddles. I've read medical websites that weren't very fond of them for women. So I guess that time will tell with the old TITS cliche.

Thanks
