I'm just getting back into biking. I'd like to get to the point where i'm packing my camping gear. I'm almost 50 and my body hurts and I get sores when biking too far. My buddy turned me on to chamois cream. I started buying the packets in order to re-apply while on the road. Those run about $2 to $3 per .3 oz packet. That's about $6-$10 an oz!!!! So.... i make my own now. This is on Youtube. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to drop a link. Don't want to get in trouble, but here's a screen shot of the video. These packets are the bomb!
Hope this is a helpful trick that is worthy of this thread.
