not such a boring story, keep em coming.
salt and vinegar on the bum-hole is the best cure for saddle soreness by the way

Fnar fnar. Yes that's what I meant. Is it so wrong to get a gel saddle that wouldn't look out of place on a Goldwing, and fit that?

Are you saying it took you 4 hrs of actual cycling to cover 25 miles? Or does that 4 hours include the 3 you spent in the pub?

A big saddle won't help. If you aren't used to spending long hours in the saddle it's going to hurt. The secret to stopping it hurting is to get much fitter, when you do that you will ride harder which means you support most of your weight on your legs instead of your arse.

I presume you at least have proper shorts?

Nah, I'd look like a right pillock, not got the figure for it. Trackies mate. And a football shirt. Pure class.

Shorts under the trackies. Comfortable and less pillocky.

Did my London to Paris last week, also with insufficient training. Was hard going but fun. The obsession with creating a traffic free route meant about 50% more distance than necessary and 100% more hills than necessary as well as some very rough tracks. Last day, GPS showed hotel in Paris to be 21 miles as the crow flies. We cycled 62 miles that day.

Arse sore, but has now recovered.
Knee sore and has not recovered. Never had knee issues before, so an interesting new ailment. Also makes farty noises when I move it.

Oh - and get a bike mounted GPS. Download routes and never get lost again.

Get a pair. Wear them under the tracky bottoms if you are embarrassed.

You are going to ride 50+ miles, which is going to take you what, 6 or 7 hours by the sound of it. Aside from the difference that the padding will make, there is a good chance that without them you will chafe yourself so severely that you'll look like you are having your period.

Knees hurt, hips hurt.

Too tight for GPS as just lashed out £500 on the bike, and on the bench in 3 weeks.

Congrats on L2P btw.

Will order them now. XXL.

If that happens to be the Tottingham one, why not simply strap a huge penis to your forehead and complete the look?
