Grease_Monkey Posted October 7, 2019 Share I'll have to let mine grow then, it seems... Hahaha I wouldn't advise it! Went riding with a lady the other day, fittingly up a bit of single track in Jonkershoek called Die Boslys, I came out with 3 on my legs and she came out with none. The hair just gives them something to latch on to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted October 7, 2019 Share Timely reminder .... As said above, this goes for ALL our local trails !! This time of year it is a good idea to check for ticks when getting home !! Last year we DID spot more than one tick during these checks .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grease_Monkey Posted November 10, 2019 Share Are you looking for an excuse to go full-roadie and shave your legs?? Hahaha no, definitely not. Shaved legs on an overwieght guy on an enduro bike is just wront on too many levels. ABrooks and Wannabe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbr Posted November 11, 2019 Share hahaha Since I ride an enduro bike (and push it uphill every once in a while) I get ticks on my legs as well, back when I was riding XC (and staying on the bike), even at this season, I never noticed that... I was considering going full roadie to avoid ticks, but maybe I should just be less lazy and pedal uphill instead of pushing Edited November 11, 2019 by Jbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted November 11, 2019 Share If I were a box I was properly ticked on Friday at Hoogekraal. Ticks me off no end. (closest emoticon to a tic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
