I have noticed that my quads have been getting a bit of irritation or heat rash recently from my bike shorts (where the band goes across your leg).  I have had these shorts for a year and have never had this issue before. Would Body Glide help with this?  Is it just really hot now? (I am in Texas)  Thanks!

Both my training partner and I get this--I'm sporting some now from today.  It's heat rash. Body glide might help keep it from rubbing, but it's just heat rash.  You could put some aloe on it and that might help some. I don't get it the rest of the year, just started getting it the last couple of weeks when it hit triple digits.

I am glad it is not just me!  I have only been getting the past couple of weeks as well and it will be gone by tomorrow, but just wondered it there was anything I could do on the preventitive side.

I am not too worried about it, especially if is temporary (e.g. only during the hot summer months!).

Thanks!
