PI tip...within 6 - 8 hours of exposure, shower and use a washcloth to scrub every inch of skin with Gojo or any other pumice based cleaner....i get PI if the wind blows the wrong way and this has worked for me.

I personally find 180 grit sandpaper to be more effective, but that is just me I guess...

You should try bathing more often.

Showers are for peasants.

depending on your level of sensitivity you can have a rash from it in like 10 minutes, so while that works for some, i personally am toast if i dont get it off within an hour, after that im just minimizing the damage. Im trialing a barrier product (pre-exposure lotion) that is supposed to help, will report back later.

We here. Longest day is tomorrow at 156-miles and 16k of elevation. We're in Shenandoah so the views will be well worth the effort.

 

[serviceguy]

Bonne chance!

Enjoy. I’m hoping for snow for you.

Day 1 was hot AF. 156 miles, 16k vertical. All of Skyline Drive and the first 50ish of the Blue Ridge. I suffered pretty bad most of the day trying to not overcook myself.

Day #2 was short at 100-miles but holy balls, it hit like 10k of elevation in about 40 miles. And it was 91 degrees. I suffered again.

Day #3. It was less hot at first with a reverse of the brutal climb we did last night to start. Left before anything at the resort opened so, no breakfast. Was a long 45 miles out to the first Control and a meal. Rest of the day was stellar. We found a Brewery in Front Royal with showers for cyclists so we ate and cleaned up. Heading back to Dirty Jersey now.
