Help please saddle sore

[SwissVan]

Yes swiss sure for all to see. Pity you on the other side of the world. Shame

 

I have spies with camera...:-)

 

You should see the tri's here in switz, its only at IM events that they provide a tent to change in all the other tri's I've seen its done next to your bike in full view of spectators....unfortunately its the male participants who do this...quite disturbing actually

Have also been lucky and not had any so far.

 

Or I am just a tough MOFO like Dips and the Oom

If you actually RODE your bike, you might actually get some....

The SS doesn't create contact dermatitis, V12'?

 

I have sensitive skin you know

I havn't seen it on anyone - usually people don't use it for very long..... but yes, it's in the list of things that can happen. Normally what I see from useage is the cuticles of peoples fingers get very dry and split - washing hands after application helps, as does a spray bottle or surgical gloves.

Lucky enough to have never had one. Here's my question though; let's say you get a saddle sore in the middle of a stage race. Would above mentioned advice get you back on a bike riding the next day? I've read that if it breaks skin you are done for.

This is hard to answer because it very much depends - both on the cause and location of the saddle sore - plenty of people do ride the next day with broken skin - abrasions are usually not such an issue to deal with - infected boil type sores are much more of a problem to deal with medically and keep you riding the next day. The bottom line (no pun intended...) is that avoidance is much easier than cure, and the key to avoidance is cleanliness (sterility) of the area and proper kit and pre-planning also helps.
