Just rode last Saturday our 400 Km brevet on a Brooks B17. No major complaints while doing the ride, but the next day my sit bones were sore. No rash, saddle sores, raw skin, numbness or anything like that, so I guess those things speak well for the saddle. But it made me wonder about riding the 600 Km brevet -- getting back on the saddle after a few hours of sleep near the 400 Km mark. But is there really a saddle that you can ride those kind of distances and finish not thinking about your tush?
