Got smacked in the face this morning...

[Spinney]

...by wet cow parsley

One of the very minor drawbacks of a cycle through the country lanes on a damp morning!


(made you look...!)

 

[Silver Fox]

Much better than a wet cow pat.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

... and heaps better than a wet cow.

I like being slapped in the face by road side vegetation some times.

Some people would probably pay good money for that...

Ergh. My mate did that once - went through a sloppy one, and splattered me all over my face, hands, bars, everywhere. That was just at the start of a ride ! Blurgh.

On my commute there are lots of dog roses and they seem very prone to collapsing into the path after rain fall.

I copped a bramble across the chops this time last year. Didn't go down well at the office.

I hit my hand on a bush by the canal and got a thorn in the finger!
Luckily I carry a small first aid kit and had tweezers in there, so I pulled it out.

I've been running to work along some of the local footpaths this week, even given the heavy rain
Along the edge of the last field, it's quite overgrown, & the Nettles are h-u-g-e!!
Plus, with the rain, they're overhanging the path

Why is it, that when it's wet, they seem to sting more??
I've had rash from ankles (run in shorts - legs dry quicker than tights), to mid-thigh, & even on my elbows where I've pushed the sleeves up!!!

It's generally still itching when I leave work 9 hours later

Aren't those the lyrics to a Morissey song?

A friends son came back from an MTB ride along a local dog walking route. He didn't have mudguards and when he took his hoody off a Barker's Egg dropped out .
