Thanks for all of the replies. I will definitely try some lubrication and maybe try a higher quality shorts. Actually, I have a couple of different ones and I can tell the difference on longer rides. You are right that it takes time to recover. In fact, I rode two 30 miles this weekend and my feet, ankles and chafing all hurt. I am almost happy that I won't be able to ride again until the weekend and not much this weekend because of company.
