What a relief... today I went for my first ride in three days and my backside didn't hurt. I was beginning to think it was going to hurt forever. (I guess my event horizon is a bit short sometimes.)
Bob and I rode 25 miles and I only had a little pain from the two weeks of chafing. What was equally interesting is how strong my legs felt after just a couple days off. This leads me to think that I was overtrained. In any case, we averaged over 15 mph and it was remarkable to see how far we have come since the season began. Bob's riding has been awesome and I am starting to feel strong again.
The route was essentially flat and ended with a quick role up Stagecoach. I used to think this was a "hill", but I rode it today on the big ring at around 24 mph - felt good. :-)
Tahoe and Boston are going to be a lot of fun.
