I used to ride a little every day, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen now. This weekend I logged more miles than usual and those 2 little spots under my sitbones feel sore, bruised.

I’m on the stock Jamis saddle which is pretty narrow. I’m thinking I might try something wider, maybe a Brooks B17 or Selle Anatomica. I’m wondering if only riding weekends is gonna take too long to break in the Brooks? Any thoughts or other suggestions?

Thanks!

Oh yeah, I ride a steel frame road bike, on paved trails. I ride on the hoods a lot, not so much on the drops.
