Rule #33
/ Shave your guns.
Legs are to be carefully shaved at all times. If, for some reason, your legs are to be left hairy, make sure you can dish out plenty of hurt to shaved riders, or be considered a hippie douche on your way to a Critical Mass. Whether you use a straight razor or a Bowie knife, use Baxter to keep them smooth.
I suppose it's their responsibility to minimise all aspects of risk, and shaven legs make far less mess when you pick up a bit of gravel rash.
Risk in not shaving your legs 😀 😀
I guess you do your arms to reduce a similar risk?
I've only really had gravel rash on the outsides of my calves and thighs - probably because you often go don clipped in so you can't move your legs.
I know from my own experience, shaved leg gravel rash tends to heal in a few days, hairy leg gravel rash takes longer, goes manky and itches like hell.
Just my own experience, you'll probably be able to dissect, over-analyse, and tell me I imagined the whole thing. 🙄
