I have increased my riding this year to train for the MS 150 in my state. I am having pain in my um, soft tissue area. I have tried new shorts, a new seat, chamois buttr, etc. Some people are saying it's the increased mileage, it will go away, etc. I'm not having SORES, and it's not on my sit bones. I'm just having irritated tissue. It's like my seat is hitting my personal areas and spreading them out? or something. The pain is almost on the "hidden" areas, if you know what I mean. It's not numbness, it's pain. Has anyone overcome this problem? I was on a Terry Butterfly, now on an Avocet 02 Air 40. Happens on both saddles. Riding 30-60 miles per ride.

Bike fit?? Is the saddle level? Maybe the nose of the saddle needs to be knocked in a down angle just a touch, like a fraction of a smidgen. Too much and you keep sliding forward but I had to adjust mine this year. I think after multiple adjustments and whatnot, the saddle level angle got pushed in a slightly upward direction and I found my saddle was just getting slightly rude and oh-too-personal.

My post yesterday was unclear about the saddle "Mark IV"
I mean "SPONGY WONDER BIKE SEAT" (http://www.spongywonder.com)About the "Carri", you can get information on http://www.jrcarrico.com/
This seat is really special
We would need advices from riders.
A great deal of details can be found in the patent of this seat (#6139098) and fortunately the link to USPTO is given so you can see the complete text and figures.I don't know yet where this seat is sold (jrcarri site doesn't give any way to buy!)

jmarilit looks goofy and I wouldn't buy anything over the Internet from someone who doesn't have a webfront - or a really good reference.

Fiz ik Aliante is the best saddle I've found. It's a little pricey, but it's like butta for the booty.

What made a huge difference to me was when I switched to clipless pedals and improved my pedaling. Shifting my weight off my, ahem, hoo-hoo, and onto my legs made a world of difference. Developing stronger quads helped, too. I still get the searing soreness, but only after 3 or 4 hours of riding instead of 1 or 2 (and it's still worth it!)
I've talked to some other girls about this and it seems that other people have gotten BOILS down there! That hasn't happened to me, thank god.
