Hi Gregg! I’ve also had this method recommended to me (by many reputable sources), but have not yet been able to try it. It seems smart. The furthest I’ve gone in a day is 127 and I did so one a single chamois and steel bike and was ok. There was about 8000 feet of climbing though, so I was off the saddle a lot, which I think is the most important thing. (In comparison, the 200k I did that was almost all flat nearly KILLED my butt because I wasn’t standing enough). Stand! Stretch! And… double chamois. Why not? You can always take a pair off if you get any weird chafing issues.

getting ready to ride 160 miles Saturday. A friend suggested that I double bike pant for the extra padding. What do you think about that idea? Thanks. Gregg

[...] What’s Your Favorite Cycling Fuel? Yes, I call it fuel. You can call them Scooby Snacks or Tasty Bits or whatever you like. Because I like to think of myself as a Mack Truck, I choose to use the word fuel. The Amazing Energy Bars have gotten me thinking. Dan makes these bars because he likes "real food" while he's riding, which is a noble pursuit. Last Saturday on our way back from Colossal Cave Mountain Park we stopped at a Farmer's Market and bought some homemade bars that feature chia seeds (which you might recall I'm recently obsessed with). The chia bars, called Mia Chia, taste delicious, but I haven't been able to test them on the bike yet. Related posts:7 Tips for Endurance Nutrition [...]
