Day 025 - Why shave? (your legs, that is)

1-hour ride at RPE 6-7, including several hills at RPE 8        Training via ActiveMail

RIDE FOR ONE HOUR AT RPE 6-7 WITH SEVERAL HILLS AT RPE 8: Maybe you've seen serious male cyclists with their legs shaved and wondered why they do it. It's more than vanity (although shaving does make the muscles stand out). The reason to shave is that it's easier to clean up scrapes on hairless legs if you fall, and bandages are easier to remove from bare skin. Massage is more comfortable too, and a professional sports massage is a great treat to give yourself once a week when you're training hard.
