follow-up to "weird rash on rider"

["Glenda R. Snodgrass" <grs@TheNetEffect.com>]

Since I once again received many, many more private postings that public
ones, I'll report back to the list:

I was absolutely *amazed* at how many people get the same weird rash that
I do!  No one seems to have identified a cause nor a cure ... just that it
only happens on long rides (more than 2 hours or 10-15 miles) in hot
weather.  It seems to happen regardless of what tights/socks/boots we're
wearing.  One woman noted that she can usually stop the rash from forming
if she coats her legs with hydrocortisone cream topped off with Gold Bond
Powder prior to riding.

I guess since it isn't painful and no one has any reason to believe it's
actually dangerous, I just won't worry about it for now. :))  But if
anyone ever does find out the real scoop on this rash, I'd love to know!
