I rode in from home yesterday. Morning was fine but became dead tired on the way home. Probably a combo of high temp, headwind and an unusual amount of chafing in the bib. Yeay. I'm taking it easy today with park and ride and easy ride back to the car later on. I think the chafing yesterday might have been due to sweating more in the short. Do you guys use baby powder or chamois cream on the longer rides on hatter days? My usual fix has been vitamin A&D cream in the nether region before I go to bed. It usually fixes me up by morning.

Edit: was reading this: https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-avo...-shorts-365654 and found out that some folks even use KY jelly as a chamois cream. Interesting. Was thinking of trying something like Chamois Butt'r some day...
