Thanks, Ladies. Yup, it's just the sit bones... not used to 65 miles yet!
Z... sorry to hear you're sick! I hope you feel better soon!
Cindy, I'm looking forward to seeing you, as well. You're not riding this year, are you? I'll be sure to stop by the Luna tent afterwards!

Great job, slinkedog! That's a big accomplishment -- both physically and psychologically! Now that you've done a 60+ mile ride, the next one will be easier and will feel shorter to both your mind and body!
Is that She-Ra Princess of Power tiara around here somewhere? You should wear it proudly today!

Slinkedog- Congrats on your new mileage! GOOD FOR YOU!
One recommendation- try raising your seat about 1mm (not much) and see if that helps your sit bones. I play around with my seat height from time to time as I often experience sore sit bones as well. Sometimes taking a little pressure off of them will make all the difference in your ride. HOWEVER, don't do much. 1mm at a time is plenty. Be sure to mark your original height so you can see what you are doing. I always have tools in my bag so I can do such adjustments on rides.
Never fear, if you keep this up, 60 miles won't seem so far. I now always do 63 miles when I go out (2 times a week) and it just seems like a normal distance for me now.
Pretty soon, you'll be tackling century rides!

Well Done Slinke! but of course the She-Ra Tiara goes to you hun! Congrats!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
