    I didn't forever, it's not as much for the seat bones or cheek meat, it's for the balls.
    I go commando everywhere and did forever on bike until the past few months, just found the free feeling to not be ideal.

    Alright so I just did 6 1/4 miles without chamois. I can say, much less comfortable.

    I felt like I was having to adjust/wiggle every time I sat to get semi comfortable.

    this image does a pretty good job showing where I’m hurting. It does feel like more of a chafing/rubbing than necessarily a pressure pain...but gotta believe the pressure there is what causes it to rub...idk

    So we are currently at 10 confirmed for the campsite.

    see OP for the list.

    the group site says it only holds 10. Not sure if that’s how many they allow, or if it’s a space thing.

    just posting to say if anyone else is coming, they will need to look into getting an additional small site.

    Ok as far as pricing goes I got it worked out in a seemingly fair manner.

    The group site allows up to 10 people, but there is a small fee per person for anything above 6.

    I could make the math really annoying and make everyone pay their full part to the penny or whatever but that's dumb to me so I tried to make it easy.

    So the pricing will be 10$ per night, per person. Fair?

    If not, please talk to me and we will figure it out.

    I have already paid the full sum for the campsite, and will provide a tip at the end of the trip based off our experience.

    I can take PayPal or cash, whichever you prefer.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for handling the logistics. I’m good with rounding up to help offset some of your time involved. Also happy to pay cash/PP whenever you prefer; now, day of, never

    no rounding up necessary, but I will always take a beer haha!

    it just worked out where depending on when you were coming vs. how many on a night of camping that the prices per person were like either 7-8$ a night or 11-12$ a night so I figured 10$ was a nice even number to make things easy.

    I also updated the OP with some more pertinent information for the campsite, the ditch/rules/amenities/etc

    There is a creek/stream, but one reviewer said it's not the easiest to get into....doubt that stops us.

    BUT there is a spigot, with potable water. I am going to look at grabbing a small hose, and we can then use that to wash bikes/shower as necessary.

    Sounds good. I don’t believe it will be needed, but if it’s no problem then it’s not a bad idea to bring.

    I can hold 6 and I think that’s how many @honda50r can as well.

    only time we might need another would be the windrock day because I’m still leaning towards not going there.

    Chris pedals scratched the shit out of my frame last year shuttling on Alex’s truck. Might keep mine on a rack moving forward.
