Thanks for the suggestions - I'll be looking into the REPEL - sounds like
what I was looking for.

Slight correction: Repel is made with oil from the lemon eucalyptus (
Eucalyptus cittriodora ) :-)
And yeah, it seems to work.

I'm looking for recommendations for a bug spray that's:
1) odorless as possible
2) not gooey or sticky
3) preferably doesn't have Deet (which eats my watch crystal)

I found the best one is a bug spray I get from REI or a natural food store. Its made with lemon and eucalyptus oils. Awesome stuff. consumer reports rates it one of the best. Definitely works better than Off or the other popular brands. Cost is about $7. Other problem is finding it, sells fast. Used it canyoneering in UT. NO-SEE-UMS..NO-PROBLEM they hated it. A bit overpowering when spraying on but goes away. Best part is BUGS hate it, Koala's love ya! Plus if you have a stuffed up nose it will open you right up!! So it has multiple uses.

Just ride faster! :-)

Seriously the only bug sprays I've found that don't contain deet and work
are very fragrant, actually they stink pretty bad. My wife just brought
home a spray for our dogs and horses that doesn't smell to bad, kind like
dish soap. but I haven't tried it yet so can't vouch for it's

For the none deet bug rep I would recomend vitamin cottage or a
natural food store.

1) odorless as possible
2) not gooey or sticky
3) preferably doesn't have Deet (which eats my watch crystal)
4) lasts for a couple hour long bike ride
5) and keeps as many types of bugs away as possible.

Hope that isn't asking too much?????

I would ask "do you really rip out the chamois in your shorts?"

Then I would want to ask Tinker Juarez, "I heard you rip out the chamois in your shorts"

I'll pass this on to others in my group, Team Evergreen, but my question
to a pro would be: Nutrition - how do you balance protein, carbs and fat
for optimal efficiency in the saddle? And especially without artificial
sugars (sucralose, acesulfame, saccharine, etc.) or fats (high fructose
corn syrup or others). I'm a nutritionist and alway seeking the best

Hi,
I found your group while I was searching for other google groups. I'm
performing some market research on mountain biking for a book that I'm in
the process of writing. Could you email or post the below message to your
group? I would greatly appreciate it.
Best regards,
