I had a much milder form of a similar problem while riding. I got a new seat that removes most of the weight from that spot. Also, putting running boards on the bike allows for changes in seating position so I can easily change the spot where the weight is concentrated if it starts to hurt. Despite a substantial belly I have almost no butt so all my (over)weight was on that tender area. About 18 months ago I took the bike from Iowa to California and back. It was still uncomfortable by the end of the day, but much better than just a few hours on the stock seat.

I tried the Airhawk seat cover and that helped quite a bit, but with the other changes I seldom need it anymore.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
