I had to mow my back yard on Friday before the bottom fell out, another 2" of rain in my back yard and I normally wear un-padded riding shorts underneath my yard shorts, but did not this time. I was rubbed raw with the cotton as the humidity was about 90% on Friday afternoon and the temp was about 93, so it was hot and I was sweaty. Saturday morning I got up and noticed a slightly raw feeling, but loaded up with the chamois but'r and it was tough as first, but eventually got better, but I did get in 31 and when I got home loaded up with the medicated talc powder and feel much better today.
Bdinger, you need to get you recovery ride in. If nothing else, just a few miles to spin the legs, you will worse without it.
