Ok! It was just the first thing that came to mind. As you ride more you become tougher too, I find that after the cold season the first two weeks I can get really sore from the saddle but after that it becomes a non-issue. Wrists are another item (you can end up with these if you're not careful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion_cyst) and I wear gloves even in summer to ensure I don't end up wrecking my palms.

The big trick is to keep your weight down, that makes a huge difference (for me, at least). Just a couple of kilos more or less and I feel completely different after a long ride (~70kg = everything is fine, ~75kg = I feel miserable).
