Following on from the banana skin thread, what do you do to wipe your arse on the trail?
1 - Nothing as you enforce evacuation prior to set off
2 - Carry bog roll/wipes (what do you do with it? bag it, bury or decorate the surroundings?)
3 - Use natures gifts: Foliage, stones(my favorite), water(left hand Indian style).
4 - Some weird concoction from your pack involving banana skins, zip ties, gaffertape and spare tubes
5 - Public loos, as your are never far from the car park anyways.
6 - Ride on, Tour rider style, and sort it later....

I got taught the stone trick in Spain where its so dry there is no foliage or water. I was unconvinced until I tried it. Nothing too jagged or super smooth mind.

^ It's amazing what you can achieve with a good grip and a bit of elbow grease.

Flash before you ride just in case(bunnies on bars, or gun dog to carry?)? Or a spot of trapping with your shorts off?
