Ow. So after yesterday’s longer ride I ended up with a saddle sore. I can’t say I didn’t try to avoid it. Pre-ride I’d applied a healthy slather of chamois cream to both my ass, and liberally to the gel pad insert of my shorts. However, it didn’t work.
I knew today’s ride was going to be a short one. I planned on 30 minutes of very easy pedalling, and this would have been fine, but for the first 5 minutes at least, I was more trying to find a comfortable position that concentrating on pedaling or cadence consistency or anything like that. It really was uncomfortable.
Fortunately the pain seemed to subside after about 5 minutes and the rest of the ride went by as fast as any of these rides ever do.
I’m thinking tomorrow is going to be another shorter ride. Primarily due to soreness, but also due to being tired.
As it stands, my Zwift sub is up for renewal on the 12th. I had planned to swap over to The Sufferfest to see what’s up on their platform. I think I still might. There’s not much to keep me Zwifting over Christmas that I can’t find on another platform, and joined with RGT Cycling for that computer hit if I need it, I think I should be good.
Anyway, for now, I’m outta here.
