It only took over 3000 miles of bike touring
It only took over 3000 miles of bike touring, but I am a new fan of chamois cream. This isn't my first time biking by any means, but until today I didn't really have a need or understanding for chamois cream. After yesterday (75 miles) of hot and humid riding by butt started to chafe. Today, after 80 miles and "euro style" chamois cream, NO CHAFING! I'm not a new cyclist but I am a new fan of chamois cream.

the thought of chamois cream has always made me queasy. i never got it. but yes, after many miles of sweating profusely through tx, and having it all run down my back into my shorts, and the heat drying it up so quickly leaving patches of salt in my shorts...i developed serious saddle sores. it was horrendous. and that was eventually my demise. at that point i was nowhere near anywhere that would sell chamois cream and the lotion and sunscreen i was trying to use just wasn't cutting it.
ReplyDeleteif there's ever a next time, chamois cream!!
