Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

More info about this please....the GREEN part only!

I ask because this season I gave up on chamois cream and switched to a splash of Desenex powder in there prior to every ride. The powder works just as well if not not better for me than the cream....so I am open to other types of powder to use, being one who is prone to getting saddle sores.

The "Extra Strength" stuff is in a green bottle. I use it on long rides or otherwise when needed for "recovery". I have also put some into my socks before riding. Seems to help with any "hot spots", YMMV.

Yeah, the green has more cooling power than the yellow, and if you are really brave they make a blue bottle!
