Cracked lips...
During the past month everytime I get back from riding with the local club my lips are all dried and they start cracking the next day. What do you put on them to help stop this? I've tried chap-stik, but it doesn't really help. I know I should learn to breath through my nose more but... My wife says it's cuz we talk too much when we ride as a group, I don't think that has anything to do with it. Also what to put on them to help afterwards?

Make sure to put some of that Carmex stuff on your lips before you go to sleep at night,,helps bring down swelling and helps heal lips alittle for next day,,also put again in morning after eating breakfast..Blistex also good for that.

If you aren't getting enough water, just make sure you're bringing enough water along, and that you also use some of the heavy duty chapstick recommended by the dudes here. I bet that would solve your problem.

I'll pickup some of that bee's wax. We are going out Saturday in the annual "I'd Rather Ride My Bike Than Deer Hunt" ride.
