I started seriously cycling again three months ago after an absence of 20 or so years.

I've been doing longer and longer tours most days, but am finding that the limiting factor for me in pushing harder is not strength or stamina, but the friggin seat!

I started on a leather Brooks because the guy in the shop told me it would "ride in" and be the most comfortable eventually. After a month of black and blue arse I gave up and have been experimenting with a series of gel filled seats—none of which have made me very happy.

I welcome any and all suggestions.
