Did 14.5 miles this afternoon after several months of waiting out the weather.
I feel like I've been sitting on a machete blade.
Self inflicted torture.

Edit: I hit 32 MPH today without having to stop & clean up. ;)
You should adjust your body positioning if you feel that. LOL if your taint hurts you need to fix it........seriously though, it can cause bad issues with your pecker :blsmoke:

I get it - I put a "good" seat on it after the first couple of rides & it helped some. I'll adjust seat height/angle first to see if I can reduce the "uncomfortableness" if that won't cure the problem then another seat it is.
Front to back over the bottom bracket (crank axle) and angle of the seat are huge. My hips hurt and that was a big thing I had to adjust.

Centering the seat rails on the post is a good place to start. Seat should be level at the back of the saddle (where the sit bones are located) nose might be slightly tilted upward depending on the type of saddle you are riding.

That can also have a huge effect on wrist and hand comfort. Most times I hear people complain about hand pain they have the nose of the saddle down way to much which results in sliding down the saddle forcing the rider to constantly push their weight back.
Gotta balance the pressure.
