I found that in my natural saddle position, my sit bones were at the front on the wing, about the place they should be. Rather than slipping forwards, my thighs were pulling me forward as I peddled. When I’d pull further back, I’d adjust my pelvis angle, moving the part of the sit bones in contact with the saddle. That made me suspicious that I actually needed the saddle back further. So I knocked it back a few milimeters and the difference was substantial. Pain pretty much gone and my core is activating better. Rode with it like that for 2.5hr and it went well, maybe I’ll made some more tweaks in coming rides. Still some aches and pains to work on, I suspect many to do with my lack of fitness.
Thanks to all anons who helped me out.
