This is good advice. I picked up a set of bike shorts that were about $40 (on sale, so I would figure $50 or so retail?). I have noticed that the padding as of late has shown some wear. The back part of the pad in the shorts seems to be holding its own, but the front part is thinning out. Another reason why I thought something was wrong.

I just called the bike shop (Performance Bikes) that I bought the bike from originally. They are about an hour and a half away, but they seem to provide some good information. The sales clerk on the phone apologized that they didn't fit me for the bike better when I originally bought it, but offered to put the bike on the trainer, check out my measurements, and try to match me with a better saddle. 30 day money back guarantee, even if I use it daily, helps with the decision process I suppose.

Any other tips I should know before I head up this evening for this "fitting"?
