I am a fairly new rider and i have a road bike that was measured by a local bike shop. However i had to set the saddly height and handle bar height. When i ride i have padded shorts and my saddle rest right in between the jewels and the a-hole........... lets just call it the gooch. I get really sore after a short 20 mile ride and can hardly stand to ride the next day. What is the proper postion for me to sit in, should it be further back on my butt or is this just someting you have to endure? I have been riding for a couple 5 months and have endured it thus far, but i am getting discouraged and frustrated.
Also when i ride i rest my hands on the hoods and they go numb. I want to focus on a comfortable saddle first then worry about the numbess. I feel as if i am putting alot of weight on my hands when i ride.
