Are you saying you undertook a ride like that without using chamois cream from the get-go? Dang, man.

Not for nothing, but the amount of riding you did there isn't CRAZY high for a serious cyclist. Often, fit or biomechanical issues don't show up until longer efforts. If you're still into riding, I'd look into a professional fit.

I use chamois cream for every "serious" ride (which means anything but popping to the shops in my jeans) now. My butt used to be tougher but now I get saddle sores much more easily, particularly when riding indoors with worse ventilation and a more static position.

Yeah, certainly any workout-worthy ride needs cream and proper shorts.
