Re: [RC] EZ Knees for theis weekend ride - Paul SidioLast year I had gotten some new underwear to use at a ride. They were a mans sports type of underwear that was supposed to give...ummmmm ....support for those vital male areas. The goal was to prevent the chaffing/blistering that had been occuring in sensitive areas with regular briefs. Well as often happens, I never got around to wearing them during training, but put them on just before the MidSummer Nights Madness. They seemed fine, so I went about getting ready for the ride. As it was over 100 degrees at the start of the ride,(Mid August in Oklahoma? Who would have guessed it to be that warm?) , I didn't want to warm up my horse excessively. I walked him around for a while, and then 3 minutes before the start hopped on and started to trot a bit. Much to my chagrin, the "family jewels" started bouncing too. The thought of 50 miles of that was horrifying, so I hurried back to my trailer and swapped underwear. When they said "Trail open" I was just getting back in the saddle. But Angie, I would never leave my shorts hanging on a tree limb. It wasn't me:) Paul N.

During that loop, well apart from each other, we passed 2 pairs of men's briefs on the trail (no other litter problems). It got us pretty curious. Maybe that's all the bears left when they ate the hikers??? Definately gave Josie the giggles and had her imagination going. I wasn't about to get off and check to see if they had cut them off but it did make her look at the group of trail riders we passed with curiosity. >G< Angie =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
