Do you stand up? Makes a huge difference to butt-happiness. Just stand up for a few kilometres every 50km or so. I find it also helps to "walk on the spot" on the footpegs whilst standing.

Do you stand up?

I did a couple of times. the last 200kms were the worst! I started getting cramp in my hip and found I had to stop more often. At one point it was so excruciating I nearly packed it in and booked a motel room. Trip down wasnt half as bad.

The walking on the footrests thing is good to stop the hip cramp. Its fairly normal BTW, not some weird unique to you problem. After a bit u get used to it.

Ive got a bad back as well and the ride wasnt a problem at all. I had a tiny twinge from it every now and then but nothing that really bothered me. I thought I would suffer for it today but theres no problems at all. In fact, Im as happy as a pig in poop...so happy that I might even let the bf watch golf on TV!

Glad you had a great ride, buggar about the chain but next time I bet you'll do it better.

Well done .. awesome sounding ride .. especially on a smaller bike ... my first trip was in december and I know all about wanting to pack it in and grab a motel room .. butt aches and no fun .. . I am sure that over time things get better
