Good shorts help. Also the harder it is, the better it feels over long distance. It's going to suck for a while though and there's not much you can do to make it go away

Good shorts are mandatory. You'll find the sore spot when you shower (trust me).

Shoes try on everything possible. Sidi, Nike, Northwave, shimano etc are all comfy to me. Shoes are like a lid for the motorcycle, find what fits you best and go with it.
Shorts I've only ever had nike, assos or campy. All are great and I've had many 8 hour days in them. Hincapie and santini are supposed to be good too.

Beautiful bike dude. Always wanted to get into road biking, maybe when I'm older.
Try one of these. Comfy as hell.
3 pair of Sidis, a pair of Diadoras, and a pair of Looks. 90% of the time I wear the Sidis. They make the best platform bar none.....if they fit you. As far as shorts go, there's Pearl Izumi, and everything else. Like most other things, you get what you pay for.
I have a Guru....
Weirdo.

P.s. A saddle is a very personal thing. Everyone is different. My first road bike I must have seriously tried them all to find what worked best. Finding someone to fit you who actually knows what they're doing will help you a lot.
I ride with one of these and love it
and one of these
both great if they they work for you.

You say that like it's some sort big big revelation!
That's what she said....
So my sis went to the Milton velodrome and apparently it's 8 one hour sessions to get certified which takes 4 weeks minimum. I might check it out this year but probably not til fall as my arm is screwed now and I probably shouldn't be putting that much weight on it.
