Saddle Comfort
This might sound like a silly question, but I'm very much not part of any cycling communities, and so I only really have my own experiences and youtube videos to go off a lot of the time, so I think it's good to sensor check my conclusions from time to time with actual people.
A quick background of me, I cycle commute daily, 50miles per week, and have done for a couple of years now, but I really enjoy pushing my endurance limits, and doing much longer rides when I'm able to, I like to have little goals each year to try out just to see how they go. My current goal is a roughly 250mile ride across Britain from where I live to London.
In doing this, I keep running up against issues of saddle comfort. I've tried a handful of different saddles, and have had a professional bike fit which improves many aspects of my bike comfort, but I still suffer with saddle discomfort on long rides (current setup is 5hours+, and I'll be changing soon, but even previous setups have been 10-15hours + before becoming an issue).
I never get saddle sores, or chaffing, just dull aches that appear in my sit bones, and just grow steadily worse, and are most prominent when just cycling doing a flat section of road at 25-30kph.
I mostly accept this as an inevitability of riding for so long in 1 chunk, but I also don't like this conclusion and wonder if this is something others find, or if it's something that I should keep working on improving
