Reaching into middle age, I can't help but think lycra is for the younger riders amongst us, although the sight of a mamil in white lycra shorts, does give me the motivation to pick up cadence and leave that image before nausea sets in.
On my first run of the 100 course (but only the south of the river), I made the mistake of wearing cotton boxers underneath my shorts (with tourings over the top - of course)...... NO ONE ELSE MAKE THIS MISTAKE ! It took a week to recover ! WILL ALWAYS GO COMMANDO UNDER SHORTS IN FUTURE!!!
Follow the advise from.... I think it was David Millar... and wash you shorts in shampoo, to make the chamois as soft as possible :)
