When I first started riding, I would get very
painful rub spots just inside my knees. Experienced riders told me that I would
learn to sit and post so that this would become a thing of the past. They
were absolutely correct. But in the meantime, I cut large patches of moleskin
and placed the patch on the area where I was getting blisters and this helped
immensely.
this may help you and if you are just begining to
ride, you might look forward to this also being a thing of the
past.....
Good luck,
Pat

I just did my first endurance ride this weekend, (it
went great, by the way), but I got rubbed quite alot in the knee area where it
meets the saddle. Its more like almost under the knee. My friend said it was
pretty typical and she still gets them. I was wearing decent breeches but was
wondering if any of you have any tricks to help not getting these. It looks
like I took some skin off there. Does anyone wrap up under their breeches or
is this just a battle wound I will proudly bear? Its quite amazing how much
more sore you are from competition miles vs. training miles even though
you have trained some long, hard miles. I was amazed at how sore my body was
the next day! You do get over this, right? Are most of you *always* sore after
a competitive ride?
Thanks!!
