[RC] Question for Ride and Tie people - Suzanne BoydI know there's some RAT'ers on this list, hopefully someone can help me out. I'm trying my first one next month at All Kidding Aside(VERY well named!) Yesterday I went for a trial ride wearing bike shorts. I ride bareback in bike shorts all the time with no problem. However, I discovered that something was pinching the living heck out of my upper calf. I ride this mare in an english(Wintec) saddle, because that's what fits her. I have a merino seat cover on it. It wondered if the webbers would pinch me, but it seemed like it was the edge of the flap. I already splurged for a full merino cover for my endurance saddle, but that saddle doesn't fit her very well. If someone's gonna have to be uncomfortable, I guess it's gonna have to be me! Not that the black and blue pinch marks don't go lovely with the 71,000,000,000 mosquito bites and briar scratches! I just wondered what other people rode in. I always see pix of RAT'ers riding in running shorts. I think my O'Keeheay's will be too hot. How about bike shorts and knee high socks? Of course that look might get me arrested by the Fashion Police. Any other ideas? Or just grin and bear it? Might take my mind off the other pain?!? Suzanne(endurance riders have the most mangled up legs on the face of the earth, yet insist on wearing shorts!!!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
