We finished the 24 hour tandem ride yesterday morning (update posts on lesko.tumblr.com) and did well. We used bag balm and brought one change of shorts. My sit bones are a little sore but no saddle sores. The only thing I messed up was applying excessive bag balm in my enthusiasm when we started and it bled through my shorts onto my bike seat. I used less when I changed my shorts after 8 hours. I also figured out that women probably have to reapply during a long ride because there is no way to go to the bathroom and not wipe some away (sorry if this is TMI) so I also brought sample packs of my regular chamois cream and reapplied once. We went 232 miles in 24 hours - the link to the ride is at
