Re: [RC] Long distance riding and jeans - Barbara McCrary

For competition, I ride in tights, half-chaps and a shirt that hangs out. It isn't too long, but at least it does not tuck in. The tights I used to love, but wore them out, were cotton-lycra with fleece crotch, seat and knee lining. I used to ride in them w/o undies. Very convenient. My current tights are not lined in the crotch and seat so can't do that any more.

It might help to know why your friend wants to ride only in jeans.

Our grandson, your basic Carhartts type of guy, does his training in jeans,
but competes in some breeches his mom made him. He wants "nothing showing",
but he knows if he's going to be in the saddle for 50 miles, the jeans are
going to get pretty uncomfortable.


A heavyweight friend who things poeple are taking note of her bulk, trains
in sweats, but she grits her teeth and competes in tights.


My girlish figure is all behind me (literally) and it was really hard for me
to appear in public in tights. I wore really REALLY long shirts for a year
or so. I'm to the point now that I just figure it's a problem I created
myself and could solve with some self discipline. I even go into our little
local counrty store in tights and half chaps. I suspect that they refer to
me as the "nutty old lady in the tights", but I'm riding. They're not.
