I think I'll give it some butt in seat time to see how it goes as maybe it is just something I need to condition. It's only a little bit sore when I am riding but more so when trying to get off the bike (I am the least limber person I know so it's comical watching me try to get off the bike, even more so when it's mounted on the Kickr). Thanks for all of your input, it gives me a lot to think about.
Just make sure your weight is on your sit bones.
I've had good luck with mid-priced shorts but I use xxl for the room in the crotchel region. Expensive shorts with good pads are miserable if they are too tight.
