  • A good saddle made I world of difference. I have a brooks on my tourer and I cant remember whats on my commuter but its also very comfortable and doesnt cause any pain. I wear padded undershorts for longer tours, but I can comfortably do 2-3 days without them on the brooks.

    I try not to ride further than I need to if I can help it while on tour. 50 miles/80km a day seems a good amount to avoid most of the kinds of fatigue or pain you might get from riding. Any further and I start to feel it.

    I may have a headstart on training as my commute to work is 10 miles so im doing about 100 miles a week just for work so that probably keeps my butt tour ready.

    70 miles as a one off will probably hurt more than 50 miles a day for 7 days.
