Jeff I'll have to give the others a try on longer rides. This summer most rides have been in the 25-50 mile range. Next summer I hope to increase this number. I'm aiming for the first 100 mile day.

But I'm perfectly happy with a good synthetic chamois on rides of any length, and they dry faster when you line-dry your shorts while touring. (Nothing like starting a 150-mile day with wet shorts...) Have to agree on the wet shorts, but have had to do it many times. It ALWAYS rains when I tour. As an annecdote, when I did my last coast to coast tour, unsupported, I carried 2 pairs of PI Microsensor shorts, and 8 pairs of Patagonia Capilene briefs. Kept the olde arse dry even when the shorts were wet. HAND |

Beverly Hi Beverly, I would suggest that you experiment before the longer rides. The Sixtufit Olympia Gesasscreme always leaves my skin feeling soft and damage free. It really is an interesting product. The labels and all info on the box, is in German, so I have no idea what the details are. I tried using a translation program, but it wasn't real helpful. Good luck on that first century. I did my first metric century, this summer. It was an accomplishment, that I am proud of. It wasn't easy, and the last 4-5 miles was in a driving rain. I did it with a fellow I had met while out riding. We have become friends and ride together, every so often. He is a much stronger rider, than I, and I am quite certain, that without his encouragement and wind breaking, I wouldn't have made it. Life is Good! Jeff |

I will experiment on my shorter rides. I do most of my riding with fellow bike patrolmen on the local trails. Many are experienced riders and have been encouraging, too. Riding with them has certainly improved my biking skills. At age 61, I've bought my first road bike, switched to clipless pedals and started tackling hills! The century is my next challenge.

OK, wool has some good qualities. But it's hot in the summer, itchy all the time, and dreadful in the rain. Besides that, it's expensive, takes forever to dry, and often loses its shape. Oh yeah, and the moths love to eat it. it's great in the rain. what're you talking about? especially cold rain. yow, what is it you think the good qualities are then, i'm curious to know. i don't find it itchy or hot, mine don't lose shape (swobo or woolistic). everything dries quickly here in the desert so i wouldn't know about that and we don't have moths. the normal woolistic (which are always out of stock) of woolywarm aren't particuliarly expensive compared to most jerseys either. -- david reuteler |
