As WW said, I found that a generous pad that you can experiment with helped me the most.
Moving around on the seat to change your posture slightly helps too.
The REAL solution is to STOP every 60 miles or so and stretch for a minute or two.
On a group ride, that should be arranged in advance.

After changing bikes AND springing for a ~ $400 Mustang seat AND trying my gel pad on it.......I have concluded that I just don't have enough natural padding and I just have to toughen up a bit. My symptoms, however, are that everything BUT the tailbone area hurts; a somewhat different situation.
