Listen to Jim. Go out and do a 4-5 hour ride and adjust and re-adjust your saddle until you are completely satify with the fit. Give a saddle a few rides and ride out the pain until you can sit without any issues. Modern and high $$$ saddles do not mean they are better and more comfy. Its a very personal thing. A saddle is there to hold you up to take weight off your shoulders. Most men (competitive cyclist I know, just look at pictures of pros who do 7-8 hours on their bikes) like to ride with saddle painted up a little. You must give it some time. Second thing is to make sure your stem is the not too long. That will kill you from mile 60 to 100. NO fun at all. Just remember, the harder and faster you pedal, the less weight is on your cheek bones. So it should not hurt so much when you are hauling. how long can you last?
