Seat Pad

So I have been looking for a cheap option to make my seat a little more comfortable until I can get something better. I think I have found it. I have been using a stadium cushion that helped but not a whole lot. I remember someone posting about a memory foam pad they picked up at Walmart. So I stopped and found two options. First was a memory foam pad for $11. The other was a large memory foam pad with a gel top for 20 bucks. Got off work at 4am and decided to take a ride with it. The most comfortable ride I have ever had on a stock seat. Rode 1 hour and went 50 miles. Usually I am starting to squirm by then. I felt I could have easily went another 50. I did have some very minor soreness but it was so minor I hate to bring it up. Now who knows. Maybe 5 more miles would have got me. I wanted to go further but it was a little chilly and I am a sissy in the cold. I was ready to get off the bike. But because of the cold. Not the seat/pad. Hope to get a lot more miles very soon.

Get a Alaskian Sheepskin, your butt will be eternally thankful.....
Helps keep your ass warm in the winter, cool in the summer, padding is good, relieves pressure points, makes for a better in general ride
