This weekend I will be attempting to ride 100 miles on my 24 muni to help raise money for my gap year trip to Uganda for five months working with a charity. Along with a friend on a b*ke to keep me going, we’ll be riding the canal-side towpath from Bath to Newbury, and back on the Sunday. It is forcast to be sunny over the weekend, but as it’s been raining heavily all week the ground should be nice and squidgy! There is mention on the guide to the route, of ‘sections on uncultivated fields’. Should be interesting. Also, riding for 7 hours a day on a standard KH Velo seat should prove… uh… interesting. All in all, an interesting experience awaits.
I’ll be able to give an account of just what such an ordeal is like next week, assuming there haven’t been nevous breakdowns or the like.
Tempting as this Vaseline gunk is, I think I’ll give it a miss. I’ve been alright on the chaffing with my cycling shorts so far, and I wouldn’t like to try slathering dubious substances on myself without an adequate trial period - anything might happen! I don’t have any anyway
I dunno, some people get rashes from the weirdest things and you sure as hell wouldn’t want a rash there. I get a rash from one of the deodorant and itchy armpits isn’t very nice either. But itchy …s wouldn’t be cool.
