I'd like some input from you guys on this one.
Some background: it's already established I have laughably week hips and glutes. I've recently recovered from a running knee injury that was caused by that. I'm still working on building the hip strength. It's better but still not great according to PT.
So last weekend I took my TT bike out for some climbing practice in preparation for 70.3 Nice. If you're familiar with Skyline Drive in SNP,it's got some great 15-25min climbs at a reasonable grade. Great ride and great prep. Not sore or anything.
But yesterday I took the road bike out on the same route. Very early on I got a sore ass, and dealt with it the whole ride. Afterwards as expected it's just completely sore. The soreness is right at the sitbone area, basically it feels like I've been doing a lot of weighted step ups
So my question is do you think it's just my weak muscles? I was also thinking hip angle because it doesn't happen on the tri bike. So move the saddle forward a bit. Well I was in for a fit check up recently and it was moved up (nothing seemed out of the ordinary angle wise but he noticed when I initially sat on the bike I was sitting in front of the saddle which is why he moved it forward), but after a 3 hour ride my penis was numb for hours afterward. Moved the saddle back where it used to be and that issue went away. Or it's simply just the wrong saddle.
Thoughts?
