I hear ya

I have been riding since April and feel like I am doing good, but not sure at what point I should shave either. I have not lost much weight. I am still 5'9" and 203lbs. I have trimmed the hairs on my legs. (people ask if I shave them already)

When is the appropriate time to shave them?
Also since it is almost October is it pointless until spring?

Only thing stopping me at the moment..

#1 Im not in "Cycling shape" (5'10" 195)

#2 I dont want people to think Im a poseur as Im not fast yet (been ridin 9 months)

Ive lost 25 pound in 9 months but I still dont feel like I should though Id like too.

However, Ill agree, that place I shaved looks really really kool, got some mad veins that run allover that I didnt see before I shaved it.

Should I wait or get the razor out tonight? lol

PS, I have very fine, thin hair on my legs, It probably wouldnt even get noticed.
