Ok, ok, I know this is rather personal but I need help.
I'm really new to cycling but so far it's been going great. I got my new road bike on Friday and have since road around 15 miles per day. I've really enjoyed my time in the bike and have even become quite brave on some of the fast downhillers.
The only problem so far is my derrière. Ouch!! I've not had a good look but it is really sore. I suspect it's bruised, slightly chapped and maybe even blistered....... Yes I should probably look
I'm not the lightest man at 14st and I suspect this is half the issue. However, I'm wondering if my choice of under crackers is making things worse. I wear briefs under my padded cycle shorts and after a ride they are all ruffled up around my nether regions. Could this be a factor?
I'm hoping you more experienced cyclists can help me out with your own experiences/tips. I certainly need a day off tomorrow to give me chance to recover so I'll have plenty of time to read your responses.
Thanks
