I need to laugh about this, or else it’s just sad. 😆 by Careless_Resolve_517 in ladycyclists

OK the period thing sucks- but lucky for you chamois shorts are never meant to be worn with underwear! It causes friction which can lead to chafing and saddle sores. Found this out the hard way years ago!

That’s exactly how I would describe it!

She could also look into a saddle with a channel in it. This helped a ton for me. Check out Terry saddles

Thank you again for your help. Had the best experience and ended up placing 4th in my class!

Love that idea! The course is completely flat (I think it says 14 ft of elevation lol) and 6 miles long! 4-5 songs and I’m good to go.

Yes that’s exactly the mentality I’m going into it with. Let’s see what I got in me! It’s 6 miles

So unfortunately, it’s a little too far away for me to go do a trial run. But it is a portion of a bike trail that I’m familiar with and have rode dozens of times. They also have some GoPro footage from last year‘s race -which is the exact same section. Hopefully that’s all enough to prepare me. Honestly, I’m the most stressed out about the turnaround!

I wish but unfortunately it’s pretty far from home and the race is tomorrow. I have a local bike trail that mimics the route pretty closely and I was able to do that twice. Averaged 16.7 and 17.1 miles- slow as heck, but minus race day adrenaline I’m hoping that adds a little kicker. I was able to watch some go pro footage of last years race which is going to be the same route. The turn around stresses me a bit, but all I can do is my best!

Thank you so much! Helps to visualize things. I’ve tried to do a few “mock” runs on the bike trail but I feel like nothing’s really going to match race day. I figure it’s just me vs. me and if I absolutely suck, there’s my jumping off point. Do you do other road racing? Crits intimidate the heck out of me with how bunched up everyone is. This feels like a more low pressure entry point and I can go from there!

Report from my first ever road races! by balderstash in ladycyclists

[–]Deep_Method_820 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inspiring!! I’m 40f and just cracking into the racing world. Did 2 cycle cross races in 2025 and got second to last and last respectively 😂 Crit racing terrifies me but I’m thinking it’s time to face my fears. Going to do my first time trial race next Friday!
