Gear Talk / Re: Brooks Saddle help

« on: November 22, 2012, 07:42:18 am »

shorts do help. i couldn't imagine riding a bike for very long without them. i wonder how i was able to ride all day long, day after day, in blue jeans when i was a kid.
 
something else i do to my brooks is i put a good coat of saddle soap. that protects & soften the leather. i do it about 8-10 times/year.

if you're coming from the west when you cross over the ohio river, you can take the underground railroad, which crosses back over the river at brandenburg. you will ride through s. indiana. depending on when you come through, they are working on a bridge for ped./bikes to cross the river into lou. as one of your people mentioned, if you don't have to go to lou. i wouldn't. i to live in oldham co. i don't like riding in lou. & i've live here all my life. any questions? feel free to respond.

if you start west to east by the time you get out of colorado you'll be able to send home the heavy clothes home because if you're leaving june 10 by the time you get to ks. you'll be riding in 90's. might want to have something to block sun.
