I've recently completed two audax events both 100K+ . After each ride I experienced severe pain in my pelvic floor that comes in spasms and I constantly feel like I need to urinate. I have not experienced this previously. I'm guessing this is just extreme saddle soreness, albeit very unpleasant, and due to my saddle and/or riding position. It's strange that I have recently started to suffer as I haven't changed my saddle or position.

Can any body offer any advice or suggest a saddle that may be more suited to long day rides. I currently ride on a standard selle Flite.

    I don't know whether Pelvic Muscle Spasm can be caused by your saddle. I strongly advise you to see your GP. Spasms are a neuro-muscular problem and can be effectively treated without too much bother.
    All the best
    Legs, lungs and lycra.

    Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
