    1) no.. I've never ridden this far before (especially back to back days)
    2) How much do i use?
    3) Do i put it on my chamois or my undercarriage?


    any other tips that I should know for this long of a ride?

    Another tip, if it is going to rain, your feet will get wet. I might consider getting some waterproof booties. There is nothing worse than a shoe full of water. The rest of you might dry out, but your shoes and socks will stay wet and your toes will shrivel like you've been swimming all day!

    I use a small screw-top jar to carry chamois cream with me. Drug stores may sell them as travel pill cases, camping stores have them, etc.

    I find that if my shorts get wet there are more chances of chafing later on.

    So I'd bring a little bit of chammy cream along.

    rain is bad for my down there?!?!?

    I'm sorry but this is driving me nuts.
    It seems like a word has been left out or they were placed in random order and it makes my brain hurt.

    If you're too shy to say "labia' let's say Twinkie or Zsa Zsa or something.

    Just don't say 'catcher's mitt' because then I'd really be confused.

    Well, it would be really bad to leave a catcher's mitt in the rain.

    This being said, if I need chamois cream it's not on my genitals at all but rather in the creases where my legs connect with the rest of my body (groin, under my bum), especially if the offender is wet shorts.

    Too funny, I have never heard of it called a "Twinkie" before. My friend from England refers to it as a "Twinkle".

    I don't put the Chamois stuff there either, just the surrounding area.
