But more to the point. Great advice! Relaxing, and ride ride ride.
The more you ride the more you'll figure out what you actually need to change.
For instance, I always thought my butt just needed conditioning until I rode 600 miles in a day. Then I realized I really just don't have a but, and need a new seat and bicycling shorts....
You also get quite creative with seating positions on the long-haul.
Oh, and as you ride more, don't be too surprised to see muscles develop you didn't know you had before.
