My seatpost limits how much I can tilt the seat. (Bontrager SSR) Today I tried closer to level and even a slight nose up. Nose down was a little better than either.

I am wearing padded bike underwear as underwear. It does help.
After your last post I'm taking a look at seat height. I do think this got worse when I raised my seat.
I am going to go to my LBS this afternoon and see if the problem is fit and see if they can take an objective view on how my bike should fit me.
We are headed out to the NC OBX Sunday and I want to be able to put down some miles while I'm there.
