65km! or Going Commando

So I suck at blogging. Maybe from now on expect blogs to come in large batches potentially days after the events in the blog actually happen. Good? good. now on with the blogging.

So i biked 65km. all in one go. holy crapoli. it was a while ago it feels like and it also feels like a while since i've been out to bike. although i am on my bike every day pretty much doing errands going to the farm. randomly biking around. but i havn't been out for a good ride in over a week. partly due to weather partly due to my bike being in the shop.

I'm getting a better bike seat put on and a tune up. The bike seat i got with the bike is nice and soft, which sounds nice but trust me it's not. when you're bike seat is too soft, after a certain distance of you butt sinking into the seat, circulation to your butt cheek and leg gets cut off not so good when you're relying on your legs to move you. so i'm getting a firmer seat put on.

while my bike is in the shop i've been riding around my old beater, tank. man i love that bike. it's heavy as all hell and has more rust than paint but it fits so nice. but the one thing i did notice riding it...is the seat. my new bike has one of those fancy seats with the hole cut out for your bits (you know the ones i'm talking about). tank's seat does not.  how i miss that little cut out bit. oh my do i miss it.

on similar bits related notes, i finally did what i was told and didn't wear underwear under my bike shorts. i was hesitant to do this at first, the shorts have this nice cushy (read absorbant), padding around your bum and bits. i felt weird not having undies on. but i was told commando is the way to go. it cuts down on chafing nad improves general comfort, ya see your undies absorb all that sweaty goodness and because they are cotton, they hold on to it rather than wicking it away from your skin. to mich information i know. but this is important. so yes for my 65km i went commando. what a dream! wooeee i shoulda done that sooner. feels so good you would not imagine. i suggest that everyone go commando for a day. 

but yes 65km done! next 75km. here i come. once the rain stops....
