GUYS ONLY...does your "junk" fall asleep when biking?

Numb is not good.  I go 6+ hours without numbness

Have you had a bike fit?

sometimes, but not often.  Usually when I'm on the trainer.

Suggestions -

• Take a look at fit as suggested above
• Review saddle angle.  Should be level
• Review how you are sitting on saddle.  Should be on "sit bones" as stated above
• Move a little on in the saddle during the ride.  Standing up for hills, taking pressure off your saddle, etc at times to make sure the blood is circulating

For me that's a reminder that I'm not sitting in the saddle right.  As another poster stated you need to sit back on the "sit bones".  If you are unaccustomed to it they WILL hurt.  It just takes time in the saddle to get them used to the pressure.

Numb is bad... numb means lack of blood flow...

ISM Adamo Road Saddle - I love it. The road has move padding than the race, that's the only difference. And it's cheaper for some reason. I only use tri shorts which have less padding than bike shorts and haven't had a problem in up to 3 hours of riding so far. I'm about to get into 16 weeks of training for IMFL so that's going to go up and I don't expect a problem.

Some also align their saddle a few degrees one way or another from the centerline of the frame, depending on which side they "dress" on.

Personally, I switched to a Profile Design tri saddle with a padded nose, and I'll make a point to move around on the saddle during a long ride.  I usually start out forward and move towards the back during a ride.

Hey numbnuts - maybe your bike shorts are too tight? 

no - this isn't a good thing.  i would second the suggestion to have a proper bike fitting.

I purchased a new seat and had the seat position raised up higher in a recent bike fitting - that ended up putting me further back in the saddle and more relaxed in the aero position.  A proper fitting makes all the difference.

That's exactly right.  It's like the vein carrying all the blood to that area is right under there, right what I'm seated on (coin purse i believe the kids call it these days...).  I have no idea how to balance on the "seat bones" when leaning so far forward.  I've tried moving all over the place on the saddle, forward, backward, you name it.  I was fitted for the bike over a year ago and haven't touched anything...maybe I need to revisit the fit.

 There are some good suggestions here though, so I'll keep working on it.

Thanks...that's what I wanted to say, but I'm new here and didn't want to get "blackballed" right off the bat...pun INtended.

Ditto.  Adamo is the way to go for numb free junk.
