Check Facebook marketplace, I bet you’ll see a lot of new or almost new saddles. It’s definitely a way to explore different types without the price of new ones.
25-30 miles is enough to leave you sore but it’s not like you’re riding across the country. You shouldn’t need the most perfect saddle in the world. Are you wearing padded shorts?
Yes. I bought a pair of black bibs. It doesn’t feel like the pad is under my sit bones though.
