My husband--the new rider

I swear chamie cream makes me break out

there is an excellent balm called everything balm which works much like a chamie cream only not quite so lubricating. It was very "warming" the first few times I used it, but since it contains tea tree oil, an antiseptic and anti mold sanitzier, chances are it won't make you break out. It also works excellently to heal road rash, helps prevent scarring and is a good all around dry skin/eczema treatment. Available from Goodiesunlimited.com

Ha ha! Buffybike, your descriptions of your husband's 'spazz' attacks on the bike made me laugh! Hard!

I love how guys can get intensely into something in a short space of time, with all the confidence in the world even if they're not good at it, and just go for it.

Unfortunately with women, well in my experience anyways, we tend to be a little harder on ourselves. More perfectionist and self critical.

I'd love to take a leaf out of your hubby's book and just be a big goof and not worry about what anyone thinks
