can't offer any advice on saddles - i'm relatively new too - but it's really encouraging to hear of your progress. keep on keeping on!

Try a charge ladle/spoon (not sure if you are male or female), they are only about £20 quid and really comfy! And well done on the 30 miler

Your numb bum has come from the excessive time you spent on the saddle for this ride I suspect. I wouldn trush to change the saddle yet untill you ve done a few more long rides your bum will get used to it.

Thank you - i am a lady - well I try to be a lady

OK folks - I have a day off tomorrow, I am hoping to go for a decent bike ride then - if not then on saturday.

I'll see if I can stretch to a longer bike ride and a less numb bum!

my lbs runs a ladies only bike ride once a week, but a couple of the guys from the shop join us (not sure if it's because they want to have a ride or enjoy the female company ha ha!). I overheard one of them advising one of the ladies that it's a good idea to get out of your saddle every 15-20 mins or so (whilst you're cycling along) just to relieve the pressure.
