Enough of that. I'm letting it dry out for now.
I have a lot of experience with turf burns, and it's the same story: trying the find the balance between protecting it and giving it enough air to crust over. Where is it on your leg? Can you leave that skin exposed to air during the work day? Yes, your co-workers will be saying, "gross" every 5 minutes, but who cares?
Gotta say that these cooler temps are pretty nice in the morning. No worries about sweating too much. Today I had to drop something off with a client about 20 away from my office, and it was really enjoyable riding.
