You go out riding of a cold wintry morning, and while you’re out mashing yourself into a shrivelled-up ball of pain, you slop a load of energy gel on the legs of your thermal cycling tights. And you don’t really notice, because you’re being severely dropped on a climb by your riding partner and are too busy trying to fend off the man with the hammer to worry about goop on your legs.
So you get home and you go to remove your lovely toasty warm tights but the gel has set into an araldite-like epoxy glue, sticking the hairs of your upper thigh to the toasty warm fabric.
And so, while removing said clothes before a delicious warm shower, you give yourself an impromptu surprise waxing.
This is another reason why roadies shave the guns. It’s also a good reason to shave the guns beyond the normal shorts line. And a really good reason not to spill energy gel on a more vulnerable area.
This has been a public safety announcement
Ouch ouch ouch.
