Sorry to hear about the saddle sores but with all the wet I can easily imagine how they happened. Glad to know you found something to help with them. I use Bag Balm for long rides, especially in the wet. It's a lot cheaper than the special "chamois creams" they sell out there. I think wet weather makes for more flats - that the shards of glass or thorns are exposed when the light coating of dust is washed away. I'm told there's a better explanation but I don't remember it. Have a great tour!
