Default Winter Butt

During the winter months I was down to taking short rides. This weekend I got in 550 miles and my butt is singing the blues. Anybody else have this problem in the spring on their first long rides?

Yea. It snows here so I don't get to ride all the time. I got an airhawk for my wife and use it when she doesn't. Rode 1240 miles last month to re-break-in and I got alittle sore but it went away. Now I don't need it. I was riding a lowered special - now that hurt! (What's soft about a softail?) The farthest I could ride in a day was about 400 and my sciatic never was killing me. I couldn't walk more than 100 yards without having to sit down. Felt like I got kicked by a horse. Now I ride a dresser. Way better!

Like any muscle that goes unused, reworking it will require some pain....perhaps 'riding' the 'ole lady more during winter months will help...maybe not with the buttocks, but who cares?
