• Dumb question... I always imagined people took 2nd sets of clothing or something.

    Is this just a "ride and sweat, and stink like a packhorse, and just have a shower at the end where fresh clothes will be waiting" thing?

  • Last year I had just one kit and it was fine, I washed it every 3-4 days in a hotel sink/shower.

    My main concern was an infection caused by saddle sores so whenever I had a shower I cleaned that area really really well. I also had anti-bacterial cream which I probably applied twice a day.

  • Few different strategies - ultralight would be one set of kit. I'm taking two sets of shorts, making sure each has a different chamois design so that if there's horrible chaffing from one, i can swap into another. Also allows one to clean and dry while wearing the other and they're only a couple of hundred grams.
