Seemingly never ending

I ordered yet another new saddle last week.  I think that official puts me up to six?  I got it in the mail yesterday.  However, with a heat index of 105, I waited until this morning to try it out.  The reviews on this saddle were amazing.  Some reviews saying that it will change your bicycling experience.  A lot of hype, hope and apprehension came in that box.  What if I just purchased yet another saddle that would hurt me.  What do I do after that, was what Rhi wanted to know.  This was by far the most expensive saddle I've purchased.  It can cost upwards of $140, luckily I found a website called Wiggle, and was able to get it for about $80.  Still, if it worked.

Of course, I ignored previously discovered ways to break in a saddle.  I didn't wear padded shorts and about 2 miles out I realized I didn't have my multi-tool to make adjustments.  So thus started one of the longest 10 mile rides ever.  I squirmed most of the way, feeling that the seat wasn't in the right spot, hoping that as I rode it, it would get better.  The last few miles, I was just ready to be done.  The last mile across my little town, and I just wanted to cry.  Again, I bought the wrong thing.  Emotion and logic were fighting for control, luckily logic won.  I just need to tweak it, move it forward maybe that would help.  I got home and went straight for the tools.  I moved the saddle forward, took a deep breath and rode around the block.  Hmm.  That already feels better, not as much pressure on the squishy parts.  Maybe it will be okay.  I will find out more when I try it again tomorrow.

The frustrating part is that most of the people I know don't seem to have any problems.  And that mean voice in my head keeps saying maybe this means it isn't meant to be.  If I can just find a way to sit on my bike without pain or discomfort, I imagine I would be more motivated to ride.  And to ride longer.

Wish me luck, and if you are reading this and have found a solution to this please share.  Thanks!
