People from California are more sensitive to geographic references than anyone I have ever encountered, and this coming from someone who worked a decade in resorts.

I will refer to wherever you live as the main city in your metro area. If you're from Alhambra, I'm still going to call it Los Angeles.

In So Cal we complain about the rain. Those 5 rides we miss per year due to "weather" are a real bummer.

Weakness...new baseline FTP test for new coach tonight. My riding has been pretty spotty the past 8-10 weeks and surprise surprise, power dropped (about 10 watts). It's nice to have a new reference point for training though.

Burn it with a soldering iron.

Use antibacterial chamois cream for prevention.

You would make a great dermatologist.
@burger0014 If you want it fixed fast go to a real dermatologist and get a shot of cortisone in it. I have done this a couple of times and in my case, the sore was gone in 48 hours.

Sacrifice goat to the elder god Hinault, son of Ra. Clears up saddle sores, prevents pestilence and ruin of crops.

goto doctor, get it lanced.

use a ton of cream to prevent it from rubbing the top off and creating a real wound in the meantime.
