I recommend 7 pairs of shorts if you can afford it, much easier than trying to do laundry. There were a number of people riding with their wet shorts on their heads (!seriously!) to get them dry for the following day.

Shower and change as soon as you get to camp - wear something loose - sweats work well.

There will probably be huge tubs of butt butter at the rest stops - it pretty much saved my tentmates heinie. He had a nasty saddle sore, the the butter had some kind of stuff in it to help stop the pain.
