[RC] Keith: tights and social suicide - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Ray O'Donohue rno2m@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Keith,these gals don't know how good they've got it in some ways.Tights 
indeed!But,here are some suggestions. 1)Is your saddle new? If so,submerge it 
overnight in the bath tub,then ride for a few hours in old throw-away 
clothes.Your seat position will move down and back in the saddle,as you and the 
saddle settle in,and your body position relative to (any type) of stirrup 
leathers and rigging will be altered,permanently. 2)Get some "Tuff-Foot" lotion 
(they have a web site),which is better than "Body-Glide",and put it everywhere 
that rubs/chafes. 3)Avoid jeans for now,altho you may be able to use them 
later.Old soft khakis are pretty good chafe-wise. 4) Get a pair of the cheap 
LIGHT gauge nylon brush chaps the bird hunter/field trialers use.You do NOT 
want heavy gauge. 5)In cool weather,wear fleece pants. 5)Hang in there,this has 
a way of working out-eventually.
