Please Help, My Ass Is On Fire!

Please Help, My Ass Is On Fire!

 

OK, that was a bit of a ruse.  My ass isn’t literally on fire, nor am I suffering from hemorrhoids at the moment, but my butt muscles are really sore today.  I got some new, wider pedals for my bike so that the toe straps actually accommodate my feet.  Now that my feet are more comfortable, I have ridden hard the past 2 nights.  I feel some twinges in my legs, but it is my butt that is really barking *** perhaps I should re-phrase that…..nah).  I won’t be riding tonight because it’s my daughter’s birthday, which is just as well….my neighbors don’t need to see me massaging my own butt in public.

RP-
Do you have a padded gel seat on your bike?  My brother is a distance cyclist (he rides 30 - 70 miles per day during the summer) and would DIE without that padding.  You may also want to look into the shorts with padding built in!

I'm glad to hear you are taking a break from the ride tonight.  Make sure you do some good stretching, that should help with the pain!

Get yourself a membership to Massage Envy. You need some deep tissue massaging & yes, the butt is a muscle!
