This includes a few century rides (although I did have some 'sorebutt' by the end--mostly lack of mileage in early season, I think).
Well, the OP of this thread too, so that is two of us.

I am finding that some tri specific clothing has a very light pad. Chamois is fine as long as it is a single layer. I realize that traditionally cyclist go, shall we say nude, under their cycle shorts but again, I differ there also, just doesn't seem to work out .

Cannondale had some cycling tights with no pads a few years back, my last pair of single layer chamois shorts just popped a hole in a bad place, maybe the OP and I will luck out with some of the useful suggestions, sincerely thanks for the help here and in the other thread .
