Another thing is to start every ride with a clean butt and clean shorts, if you're not doing that already. And change out of the shorts into clean, dry clothes as soon as possible after the ride. When I do rides that don't start at home, I bring a change of clothes and put them on as soon after the ride as possible, before driving home (or at the first gas station/fast food place I pass, if there's no restroom at the ride start).
