Trip 1: Entry 3 - Whitewood, SK
Udderly Incredible!! No spelling mistake.
I woke at 4:05 to beat the forecast heat. First thing I did was strip my bottoms, grab a hand mirror and had a look at my aft end. What a hell of a way to start the day. Things looked a bit better and felt quite a bit better, though I was far from 'healed'. I slapped on a bunch of 'Chamois' cream and even tried using a Dr. Scholls foot callus 'donut' protector around the worst offender.
Packed things up and went to the Tim Horton's across from the (pay) campground to take the edge off. Off towards Regina into a slight headwind. Can't say that things felt so great and 2.5hrs later, by the time I reached the east end of the city, I was well past the point of having much hope. I walked into a mall bath room and had another look. Definitely redder.
I figured my dwindling supplies of the biker specific cream were not cutting it, so I went big with a cream I had stumbled across the previous day.
"Utterly Smooth"
This is very similar to Bag Balm that some of you may be familiar with. The product is actually intended to sooth cow udders. Well, I get on the bike and start riding with this stuff slopped on and instantly things seem bearable. A few minutes later I exchange my defective radio and then head out of town on fresh tailwinds. Life is good!
I've now ridden for 7:25 today for almost 250kms. I haven't taken another look, but things still seem pretty decent. Maybe there is just an anesthetic in this stuff and I am destroying my ass!? I don't think I'm out of the woods yet and will have to continue to pamper it, but hopefully the combo of the cream and the new saddle will see me through.
A barn burner today: upper 20s. I arrived at this library completely coated in salt and was shocked (after looking in a mirror) that people hadn't looked at me more strangely. I have managed to stay well hydrated. So long as I feel good, I think I'll continue for more tailwind kms, though I need to take the time later to clean up very well. I should make it close to the border. Hopefully I haven't blown it by going out of the gates too hard, but such is my nature. Time will tell.
Need to go find some ice cream...

Hope you're buttocks is better, though I could do with less description. I've spread the word around work/friends about the website - most "normal" people think your nuts - I tell them that you basically are. Your niece gave a speach at school today - "outstanding" per the teacher. Later, B
Hey Chris
Wow your web page looks better than the first version! Great to hear how well you are doing (though, like budley, I too could do with fewer details re: your ass!). Keep the posts coming and take care of yourself.
