Thanks ladies for your posts. Well, today I finally did a long ride with A&D. I put that directly on all the important areas, using a tissue this time, which seemed to work well. No smell on my hands.Then I put Chamois Buttr in my shorts. I rode 65 miles in very humid weather. I am happy to report all is well so far. I do have Nubutte coming, so I'll give that a whirl. However, it's not cheap so, depending on how much one actually uses and how expensive it ends up being ... and more importantly how well it works, I may look into Aquaphor. Never heard of it, so I guess I'll Google it. And possibly the KB concoction, which sounds very inexpensive. Yet, what I'm doing right now might be just fine. But at least I have some options to try if I feel the need to. I'm doing a century on Saturday, so that will be a really good test day.
Regarding "moving the parts around". This is something I have read on this site before, but never think of it when I'm stopped. I only think of it while I'm actually riding and that just, somehow, doesn't work! (Tried it today while drafting ... at the BACK of the pack!I really do feel like I'm having more issues lately with getting comfy on the saddle. It seems that all of a sudden my "left side" is just not situated right and I find myself moving around on the saddle in an attempt to fix it and rarely do I feel I have really fixed it. And then if I do, I end up out of the saddle and starting all over again when I sit back down! Anyways, I do have to try to remember to work on adjusting things more when I'm actually stopped and see if that helps.
