Ridecamp: [RC] Liberty Run /body sores

  Looking at Karen's pics of the Xpress, and some pics
> of some of the 100milers, I notice that many of them don't wear
> chaps; 

Don't know if it's a difference in our skin or our way of riding.  I do
ride with 1/2 chaps with no problems.  I can ride with cheap Walmart
tights that do have seams with no problems.  Do you think you grip with
your legs a lot?  I don't, ride pretty loose.  I put my tights inside my
knee high socks.  By the way, the best socks I've found to get a good fit
were right under my nose... the socks that came with my daughters'
softball uniforms for the last 10 years.  They come with a heel and stay
put better...without having to buy men's sizes that come 1/2 way up my
thigh.

The only problem I've had with chafing came from loose tights.  They
seemed to slide back and forth causing chafing.  I have stout legs so
it's easy for me to get them tight.  If you have thin legs I wonder if
that might contribute?  I got tiny little sorta blisters up the backs of
my thighs but only on a 100 with loose tights. Went a size smaller and no
more problems.

I will be at Pyramid and have a full saddle cover that I bought for a OF
Express.  It makes the saddle feel too wide to me.  If it will fit your
saddle I'll let you try it to see if it's worth it to you to buy one. 
Don't want to sell it. That's a sure fire way to need it the next day.
