No, in the nineties and naughties I used to do endurance riding on motorcycles, Alps pyranees Sierra nervarda blah blah, anyway... Everyone complained of saddle soreness, except those who, including yours truly, dumped their cars and rode year round...
You won't see cowboys jumping off after a few miles saying oooh I could invent a gelseat.
Recognising the fact that use creates comfort, has got me to half marathon state.
I did however get a grade 4 pressure sore on one trip from Wales to malaga so overdoing it is probably not a great idea either 😂
