antibiotic

It may cause some performance issues but it's all directly related to what antibiotic that you're taking and how you react to it. If you don't notice any stomach/gastric issues then you might be ok but if you're suffering some side effects like gas and other stomach/digestive issues then being able to feed properly after two hours of hard effort may be an issue.

Everyone is different.
Wikipedia - "Side-effects include nausea, vomiting, rashes, and antibiotic-associated colitis. Loose bowel movements (diarrhea) also may occur. Rarer, but patient-reported, side-effects include mental changes, lightheadedness, insomnia, confusion, anxiety, sensitivity to lights and sounds, and unclear thinking"
You may not get any side effects where as someone else may get all of the side effects. A day or two should tell you a lot about your body, just keep on riding unless you feel lightheaded.

Why dont you ask your Dentist? The medical staff around here is very busy.

Funny you should say this. I wrote a blog entry to that sentiment this morning for a different issue. I sought counsel with a doctor yesterday.

Felt,

Back in the day (and cycling is terrible for tales of lore and mythical rubbish) chamois cream was required because the real chamois leather inserts dried like cardboard if you weren't careful. Needless to say riding on cardboard like chamois that did a great impression of 800 grit emerycloth wasn't the best - so cream was used.

Apart from Assos, I haven't spotted any modern shorts that actually require cream to be applied to the chamois. I know from cycling over the past few years with shorts from Capo, Castelli and my fave Pearl Izumi, they all seem to work best with no creams. Part of the benefit comes from the fact that the newer synthetic chamois help wick away the moisture and stay fairly dry until the outside temps get rather extreme. I've only run into problems with chaffing with the Pearl Izumi's PRO shorts when the temps have been over 100F and on consecutive days of riding on average 100 miles a day in the mountains (Everest Challenge). Most of that was caused from excessive water being poured over my overheating noggin and soaking everything - including my chamois.

Assos may not actually require the cream... but they sell some really expensive cream and I'm guessing there's a reason behind it. 😉

I gave the chamois buttr a try and it felt terrible and it took a couple of washes to get the chamois back to it's previous soft and fluffy moisture wicking state.

Good blog on an important subject. Although I have been referred to as a politician I do lack the diplomacy required to deliver such an important message. I have repeatedly posted on this forum for posters to seek medical attention for their ailments. As you have said you never know who is tapping the keys on a posting. Myself included.

I use Aussie Butt Cream for rides over 3-4 hours in warmer temperatures just for the anti bacterial purpose of the cream. I rub it on myself, not my shorts. I have always used it as a precautionary measure. Plus when i stop for a cold drink, i don't smell like sweaty A$s as the tea tree oil keeps me smelling a bit fresher. I could probably put roll on anti-perspirant deoderant down there but i quite like the butt cream.

One could have a field day with the end of that last sentence.... and it actually makes cycling seem more deviant than it should. Pain, yes. Shaved body parts, yes. Tight lycra, yes. Greased up bits...

yikes.

... I swapped the shaved limbs for a massuse that puts me through curious amounts of discomfort each session and didn't go the route of an oiled up undercarrage.

Bring out the gimp.

I view anything that could clog pores up down there with great suspicion. It doesn't really matter if you slather it on the shorts or the skin - either way it ends up on both
