Cycling 44 Miles With a Saddle Sore

Took a quick 44 mile bike ride this morning to test out the Reskin patch and the Bag Balm treatment. It was a nice ride up to Trouble Creek which is close to New Port Richey, Florida. I cycled down to the Pinellas Trail checked the wind direction and headed North since the wind was a little bit from the West Northwest. I like to ride into the wind on the way up and get a little tail on the way back (that's tail wind). Not much traffic on the way up and didn't see any unusal wildlife. Yesterday, I saw a sea otter just off the road trying to get back to the marshy waterway about 4 miles from the turn-around. I picked up the pace a little on the way back as I saw another cyclist about two minutes ahead of me rounding the first turn as you head back. I thought I might be able to catch him but was surprised when I rounded that first turn and couldn't see him in front of me. I picked up the pace to 20-23 mph to close in on him. I caught him as we entered Tarpon Springs. It took me 10 miles. My Garmin Edge 705 sent out heart rate warnings at least three separate times as I exceeded my target heart range by a few beats per minute. Got home and just felt a little warm on the bum but nothing serious. Not sure if the Reskin patch stayed in place or helped. Perhaps I'll go without tomorrow. I think I might need that Australian Bum Cream!
