My Bum Hurt

[cyberknight]

Once you have time in the saddle check your saddle is level and how far back it is on the rails, even a few minor changes can turn a butt killer into something bearable.

Soak your bum in vinegar to harden it up...

it works for conkers!

Does it work for plums?

Sadly not, but if you boil then in a pan with plenty of sugar and some pectin, it'll will preserve them

Plum jam is the greatest jam to use in a sponge. Well my nan thinks so anyway

Your nan is a wise woman indeed. I prefer greengages as they are easily the finest of any plum

Is it all because of cycling
I guess there are special pants available for that

She would always refer to them as greengages as well. It never twigged they were a breed of plum.

quite how has this gone from a sore arse to plum jam?, oh I guess this is cyclechat

 

[SWSteve]

I've heard it can also be used as a rather nifty chamois cream, however the wasps seem to love settling on your shorts...motivation to keep the speed up to avoid them I guess

Plum chutney is less attractive to wasps. I've no idea if it works as a botty balm though

i started riding on Friday, it was today (Tuesday) before i could get back in the saddle again.

Got my bike yesterday and had to walk the last mile or so home as I just couldn't let my bum anywhere near the saddle.

Back in the saddle tomorrow?or give it a few days???

I'd try just sitting on the saddle at home, you'll probably know whether you'll be able to ride or not.
I sat on the saddle the day after my first ride, it was still painfull as hell and there was no way i could go for a ride the next day. It was four days before i was able to sit painfree, however i have bought a pair of cycling shorts which have helped too.

Blue Damson is the finest Plum. Especially with Ice Cream.
