B) A proper pair of cycling shorts is essential for long distance comfort. There is nothing worse than uncomfortable posterior when riding.
Maybe with Mike's ability as a cyclist you know all this anyway, but it is important to get these things right.
Very best of luck, we all loved Mike and will be rooting for you.
Bauble.
