i've been trying to "whip my butt into shape" by not using any butt-creams at all. so far so good, i finished a 600k without using any (and no issues to speak of).
eventually my tush will be so hard i'll be riding in jean shorts. one day.
Only Daisy Duke can pull off that look... I think you have a point about toughening up on shorter training rides. But I use the euro butter on rides over 75 miles, and it helps prevent most problems. I'd hate to take off for 600k without it, because by the time you know you need it, you're in trouble.
