I don't think this has been mentioned yet -- make sure the saddle is level. If the nose is tilting up, that could be the cause of your problems.

Yep, I've checked to make sure my seat is level. I'm wondering if I ought to angle it down just slightly but I'll see what happens with the fitting this weekend. Problem is, my friend really wants me to ride the 120 km Tour de Cure in about 3 weeks and I really don't see how I could survive that with my current seat. Slight discomfort is tolerable on a 30-40 mile ride, but any more than that and I am probably going to be thinking only of my seat and soft tissues! I'll try to demo this weekend as well.

I had this problem espically on longer rides. I put up with it until yesterday when I knew I was going to want to ride 60 miles in prep for a 68 mile charity ride in two weeks. I lowered the nose of the saddle just slightly after 15 miles and the pain/numbness was all but gone. My form suffers the longer I ride so nosing the saddle down about a half turn really helped me.
