Now this might sound daft, but think about your underwear, no stay with me, whatever your prefference look for something that is breathable and has no seams, it will make a huge difference to your long term comfort. The missis's G-String is way off limits I'm afraid.... I got some fairly cheap ones from ASDA and they were great, I also got some more expensive ones from , Busters I think (can't remember) and they were better, tried a day with the normal boxers and it was hell.
The same is true for under your jacket, look for something breathable, a baselayer product, cheap enough from any mountain/walking shop (especially now). Layer that with a thin (or a couple of) fleece's and you'll keep warmer and more comfortable on the long runs.


I would second this.
The right clothing is so important.
I use LD Comfort riding shorts. Got them shipped from America and after 8- 10 hours riding a day i felt great, sore/numb bum wasnt an issue at all.
For the base layer i use ICEBREAKER, sligtlhy more expensive but look at there website, 1 shirt would do you the entire run as the dont hold odour and are fresh as a dasiy the next morning. They really do work.
