the last two rides i've done i've ended up with a sore left nipple, nothing is rubbing it other than my top (no camelbak) and it's never done it before in 40 years of riding (includes 3 wheeler at age of 3) and it did it on the road bike and not just the SS so it's not a punishment
anyone else, how can i combat it?
Vaseline.
lactate
Loose weight. Only had it when I was a bloater.
hot sweaty days, put a plaster on before you ride!
Tell the stoker to keep his hands on the bars.

I did get it when I "jogged" after a decent length. Are you sweating a bit more than usual with the warmer weather? Is it different tops or any one in particular? Has your clothes detergent changed recently?
Vaseline/Sudocreme/Chamois Cream?
Vaseline &/or a close fitting undergarment.
I find this problem worse on a ride when I get very hot then cool quite quickly, and then get erect/hard nips which chafe on the cycling jersey.

Me thinks the standards of the ladies is dropping!!! 😕
I had this yesterday for the first time ever. As mentioned above I reckon that it was because it was hot when climbing up but when on top of the Mendips it was windy and wet and then got cold on the descent.
I find it's usually due to the base layer, never had a problem with coolmax.
mtfu............shandypants 😉
Wear a slick base layer or put plaster on 'em. Happens to me when I go for properly long rides in the cold.
Apply a bit of MTFU before you set off!
i had base layer on the first time then just shirt today, weird, i usually sweat in sub zero temps so there was nothing new about the heat thing really
Bits of sellotape do it for me, vaseline works but doesn't come out in a 30/40c wash so you end up with greasy marks :p
Argh, I use to suffer like a trojan with this on sweaty rides. Vaseline is the answer mate.
gaffer tape, seriously
Get yourself measured properly, your bra must be the wrong size 😉
A full gimp suit is the best way to avoid this. You tend to find people move out of your way quicker too.

Joggers Nipple - maybe some of that Uddercream would work
Were you wearing sportwool/merino next to skin? I find this is an unfortuate side effect under some conditions. Bizarre, I too only suffer on one side, and even when not wearing a camelbak so I can't blame that.
Benpanthen is a great soother - having a baby or two around has it's benefits, you get to try all sorts of potions.
good for tattoos as well, brassneck.
triatheletes have anti-cgafe cream
check out tri shops
its pretty gloopy stuff though
I'll bear that in mind 🙂
I was once told not to polish glasses with merino - if it can damage lenses...
