Default ULCER list...

What do I need to bring for ulcer?! Here's my checklist I'm picking up tonight...

Shot Blocks (i don't know what they are)
Gu (I think i know what that is)
Wheat thins....CHECK
2 water bottles for the bike (do i freeze them tonight?)
1 for the jersey
cream for my chode? what?

Laziness has gotten the better of me this last month and I've done virtually nothing...

I'm going to die.

chamois cream helps prevent saddle soreness. vaseline works as well.

I've never used any saddle cream and have never had a problem with saddle sores or chafing. Other people can't do 20 miles without some irritation.

Might I suggest if Pride has not had any problems in this area before to not try anything new before an "epic" ride.

Bump, just in case Pride missed my well-thought out and articulate post, as he posted at almost the exact same moment.

Chamois cream won't hurt. And given that he doesn't have experience at this distance, I think he's not proven himself as someone that won't have problems.

I've never had any problems with chafing and I'm a little leery of the chode cream but if it is going to help and it's recommended then I'll pick it up..

I'm most nervous about the unknown... and feeling unprepared doesn't help...

why are you being a wuss bag? you have another commitment or you just don't want to see me fall over on my bike at the starting line...

I'll just say that I was thrown a curveball and things have been chaotic lately. I have needed a very narrow focus. And this just seemed like too much.
That said, I would love nothing more than to see you fall off your bike.
