Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The Letter G... and what the crap is this? (Pic inside)

So.. this weekend I did 2 climbs.. was sweaty and rough and im sure rubbed up against stuff.


I woke up this morning.. and had THIS on my back..






Now, im all about rocking the Letter G.. .but im worried about what the crap this would be..


Being everyone here has more knowledge then real doctors.. I need your advice..




*UPDATE*

Doctors thinks its either Poison Ivy. OR Shingles

*sigh* ill know in 2 weeks when the rash fades.. if the pains there.. its shingles.. if not.. it was just a plant thing

I get the same thing on my back quite often. I also sweat a lot. Get some fungal/athletes foot treatment over the counter and apply it 1/2 times a day even after it starts to go away.

Nice! That's the proper mindset.


So what kind of things did you rub up against on your ride? (MTB or roadie) I'd say it almost looks like a colony of chiggers got ya.

I fell a couple times mtbing yesterday, Could have easily gotten something rubbed up against me then.

Sat I did a road climb, nothing really touched me..

I checked my bed over very thoroughly, so i didn't find anything ie dead bugs or spider parts etc etc.. So I dunno really.

I ride a 61 inch frame road, Large mtb. Ill be sure to leave the to the BF community if i Croak
