Any dedicated Roadie will encounter the trouble experienced by [MENTION=383585]latexyankee[/MENTION].

Hygiene
My strategy includes 2 more fixes:
--before I wash the bib shorts, I prep them by soaping the chamois, then pour 2 cups of 140F+ (from microwave) onto it (chamois) with a light rinse. Only then are they ready for the wash.

--a few hours after riding (need to make time for this) I will try to cool my legs and lower waist area by sitting in about 6 inches of bath water, sometimes adding a 1/2 cup epsom salts. This can be for as little as 3-5 minutes. This is in addition to showering after a ride.

Contribution from Road Camber
I keep wondering why everyone experiences sores on the left area off the chamois. Could it be road camber?
So Brits and Aussies universally get the same sores on the right side?
