52 mi bike ride.  I'm starting to get use to the ISM Adamo saddle and was actually more comfortable riding than I was last week.  The down side of the saddle is that you can't sit back in the saddle and have to sit with your pelvis tilted forward due to sore sitbones.  I've read reviews saying this goes away after a while, but it hasn't for me yet.

52 miles? Nice! What's this saddle thing all about?

A USAT coach recommended the bike seat to me. The seat is designed to sit with the hips tilted forward which engages the hamstrings and quads more and puts less strain on the calves. I'm starting to get use to it. I do long rides every weekend and have 3 century rides and an ironman distance race planned this year, so I'm searching for a comfortable saddle.
