Hi Guys

 

Quick Background:

I have been cycling for 10yrs

I did a 2:26 at 94.7 this year

I rode the same saddle as always

 

Ok so the problem:

Yesterday I rode a race on a tandem with my beginner GF.

While riding I felt as if I had a pole shoved up my you know what and it ran up my spine.

These were sharp pains and would disappear after I stood, as soon as I sat pains started again.

 

Some were sharp pains, others felt as if I had sat on a knife blade.

When I eventually finished the race if I tried the squatting position to stretch the muscles out between my bum cheeks the pain was insane...

 

My GF suffered from the same issues and her mother who was following us on a single bike suffered the same issues.

 

Did I possibly push to much as we were fighting a headwind or what could be the cause?

 

Today it hurts to sit. In my 10 yrs of cycling I have never felt this pain before. Its like my sit bones are broken or something.
