I ride my bike very often. Nearly daily to work which is just a 10-12 mile round trip. Recently I noticed a sharp pain in my [censored]. Today on the ride in there was a dull pain in my ass. Like, almost as if in my rectum. I know this sounds kind of gross and all but has anyone else here expereinced anything like this? a friend of mine says that it is from riding too much? "too much"? 10-12 miles a day during the week? Plus I didn't ride at from thursday last week until today because of the long weekend and some other things. Would a short layoff cause this to suddenly appear? Does any of this make any sense?
Apparently posting to usenet has a therapuetic effect. Pain in nether regions way down since I posted yesterday. Is weird. The old man had some prostate troubles but I am way to young and healthy for that [censored], I hope. I'll bring it up at the next doctor's vistit though. I did some research and there appears to be a burgeoing body of research on the effects on men from too much time in the saddle.

I guess I will play the sucker and comment on this with the proper words. It is not male or female specific as far as I can tell since I get a bit of saddle soreness in the upper thighs and sit spot where they make contact with the saddle. I thought this would go away with many more miles of riding but it hasn't even after thousands of miles of riding. Since I am not playing TdF training, I just get off about every 15-20 miles and take a drink and maybe eat something out of my back pack. After the blood gets going and I walk around a bit things feel better and I keep riding. If you think you are too young and bullet proof, think again. I did, and at 57 (which I never thought I would make it to) those things will come back and bite you in the ass. Maybe it is a rite of passage, but I have a story to go with every scar I have, though if riding and doing other things more carefully, I would just be 57 and not have those memories. The way I ride now scares my wife and even the grandkids think I am nuts, but I am having fun. Bill Baka
I really have nothing to add. You said it all so eloquently.
-- I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Francis Hopkinson, March 13, 1789
