If your butt is already acclimated to 30-40 miles a day in your existing clothing, you should be ok at 60 a day, but you might consider something changing to undies and shorts made of wicking materials with flat seams and a gusseted crotch. Personally, if it were a leisurely tour, I'd wear my undies and shorts, but if it was a hammer-fest, I'd wear my bibs.

The J&G Touring shorts are nice...though perhaps a little too baggy and short in the inseam for my taste. Walmart carries some good poly-blend briefs with flat seams under their Starter brand and work pretty well for me for rides up to 60 miles or so and are MUCH cheaper than my merino wool boxers.

If you go with bibs, the Performance Ultra brand is a good choice for the money.
