I have a saddle sore though, so any suggestions on keeping it in check for a 130 mile three-day ride are welcome. okok, thx
Have fun on your tour! There is some real nice riding north of the city. I wish you luck on the hills out of Pine Grove Furnace with a fix gear.
One thing I do with my family when they go touring with me is alternate between one, two or no padded (running) shorts. The trick is to slightly change the pressure spots. Moving the seat around (forward or backwards) can help as well.
Report back and let us know how it went.
Charlie: my schedule is really flexible, pick a date.
