was thinking about this thread the other day. a cpl 2 cents fwiw: it's helpful to learn how to "rest" while riding. take advantage of the easy sections by coasting & standing while rolling. sounds like common sense, but if you don't actually do it, you're not getting the benefit. also while standing/rolling I sometimes adjust my shorts. just a little tug on each leg of my trishorts is enough to reposition the shorts over any hair follicles & releases any tension on any creases & points of binding contact & helps keep chaffing to a minimum
