I am just back from my first ride on my new trek 1.5. I've been riding on a hybrid, but decided to move to a road bike. It was also my first ride in cycling shorts. I got the PI Attach shorts and my sit bones feel fine, but my soft tissue is burning. It almost feels torn but I've never chaffed there before so it could just be chaffing. I rode about 20 min and I'm guessing 3-4 mi. I would have gone farther, but my hands were getting tired on the hoods and my crotch wasn't feeling so great.

So where do I start? Is it a seat issue, would some chaffing creme solve the problem or is it the shorts? When I was fitted for the bike I had on teh same shorts except I had on underwear (I wasn't sure I was keeping the shorts yet) and I rode about 20 min off and on and there were no problems.
