To all the cyclists/fitness people......

Yeah the only parts that hurt today are my shoulders and my **** so a gel seat is on my shopping list along with some road tyres!

Jabba - i found that even the slightest hills were a struggle yesterday so need to work on those!

Yep today is my rest day from cycling and will be out again tomorrow.

Cheers for the advice guys, really is appreciated.

Ash.

Of course the more you cycle the more your posterior gets used to it. My saddle isnt GEL and I am quite comfy on an all day ride. Its about getting a saddle that fits your anatomy rather than just getting any old GEL saddle.

Get down to your local bike shop and have a word with them if you can find one that sells teh specialised body geometry saddles ( I'm not sure thats the correct name, but the bike shop will know what you mean ) they come in different widths and you can get one that will fit you perfectly so your sit bone is correctly positioned and you are supported properly you wont ache so much or be uncomfortable.

have a look at www.wiggle.co.uk if you are after tyres, they normally have a good range and a pretty good on price....
