Biking Journal 45

I just have to face the fact that biking is never going to be a painless experience for me. I just returned from a 26 mile ride to Buchanan with my new seat. Trying to make adjustments as I rode to get the perfect position for a comfortable ride but it didn't happen. I have just exchanged front pressure for back pressure. If I ride where it is most comfortable, I feel like I am falling off the seat and it makes my legs and arms work a lot harder, but if I sit back farther I sit right on the "sit bones" and it becomes very uncomfortable after a short time. But I did ride the first 13 miles without stopping which I could never do with my last seat so I guess that is a little improvement. I am a bit discouraged but pain or no I will be riding in the CANDISC a week from today!
