hi there

i second that...definitely invest in a good pair of shorts. beware of shorts with elastic-y things on the bottoms, sometimes they pinch after a while...also....not all chamois are the same...i have a pair of LG shorts, and the chamois might as well not even be in them...oh and finally...NO UNDERWEAR! maybe i am stating the obvious, in our group of riders (mountain mainly), there seems to be a division whether to wear undies or not. my vote is not. if you are going on a multiple day ride, you should also have more than one pair of shorts too.
ok that was my two cents...

have fun!
