Don't race, might try a crit next year, but seems incredibly boring.

I do ride hard, fast, and sometimes with training groups. Accidents happen. I also climb and descend mountains hitting 30-50mph on a weekly basis. I have crashed and slid across the pavement at 30mph. Bandages can adhere to smooth flesh... not the gorilla coat I would have otherwise. Also lower chance of infection due to dirt trapped by hair.

It feels good in hot weather.

Legs and arms show muscle definition better. Gotten several compliments on muscular legs since shaving... the smooth shaved aspect is really only pointed out and ribbed by people who knew me prior.
