Hi All-
Have been lurking around this web site getting great info, and finally joined! Yea! Anywho, I have had two bike fittings, one at the bike shop where I bought my beautiful Ruby Expert, and one with a professional fitter from Portland last Friday. He is fully amazing, and put my seat down and put on a new stem. Riding less aggressively now until I get stronger, but there is still one problem... the dreaded saddle sores. I am on a Specialized lithia saddle,
have tried 4 different creams and 5 types of shorts. I pay close attention to my form, but still got the sores Saturday after a 40 mile ride. FYI, they are on both sides, where the legs meet the pelvis, right near the sits bones. Have tried 5 different saddles also. I am scheduled to ride STP in two weeks, and I am worried. Going back to Portland fitter, but would really appreciate any advice from people who have dealt w this.
Thanks a million
