[DVBC] TOPA update

[david c bennett]

Deb

Sorry to hear of your derrierylemma.  For me, I use Desitin for chaffing, 
Tripple Antibiotic for topical analgesic and antiinflamatory, and advil for 
the other end.  But butt problems on a tour are like a sore throat for a 
giraffe or a runny nose for an elephant.  (Its not fair)  Sorry I am booked 
to recieve house guests this weekend or I would be glad to ask Cynthia to 
run me(us) up to Jim Thorpe and join you(them).  Jim Thorpe is only an hour 
and a half away.

Its too late to help you now, and I've never seen a female doing it but my 
new Brooks saddle was the best saddle I've ever used for extended multiday 
riding  (thats touring, Bunky).  I plan to write to Drew Knox about my field 
research on Brooks saddles for his recurring column.-

Anyway, If I find my house guests cancel out for a tentative plan, I'll call 
you rite up.

D'stre`
