That's awesome. Always wanted to climb one of the big Tour mountains.

 

Timely. Under the category of T.M.I., if my 'rhoids are going to act up, it will do that riding the Fatboy Lo. I'm guessing an Airhawk R seat pad might be what the doctor ordered (along with the other usual remedies). Is advertised as "Center cutout area runs from front to back of cushion." Sounds about right.

 

I just turned 71 and used to have a limit of 60-90 minutes before it became too uncomfortable. My solution was a custom Stingray leather seat by Corbin. The only limit to my time in the saddle now is determined by how long I want to stay out.

Trying a new saddle from one of the major seat makers should make a huge difference. If you decide to go with Corbin, be advised... they make a great product, but in the event of a dispute they can be very difficult to work with. I bought two seats from them over the past three years or so - the first was perfect, the second had major issues and I had to initiate a dispute through my credit card company to resolve it.
