I went for another couple of runs over the weekend. Had to make the most of the good weather before it goes.
On Sunday I rode for about fifty miles without a break. Although I managed it OK, by the time I got home my rear end was beginning to feel just a little numb.
As I'm going to be riding a good bit further, when I go away for the camping weekend at the beginning of June, I thought about getting some sort of removable cushion. That way I can still keep the look of the thin LePera seat but not have the discomfort after a long ride. (I am getting older even though I don't like to admit so much!)
I was thinking about a sheepskin as I have read that this is comfortable. The only problem is that I would have to cut and sew it myself to fit the seat. Also, it would probably smell a bit when it got wet.
I then came across a site on e-bay which sells gel pads in a neoprene cover. They are probably as expensive as sheepskin but have the advantage of coming in three sizes and are not affected by water.
I've ordered one and will report once I've used it.
