How off putting

[jimboalee]

W T F ?

treat yourself to a different saddle mate - if this is how you are after a ride there's a problem somewhere !

Numb nuts! No, the proper name for it, not you.

I went on a longish ride a while back - went from Leicester to Cambridge. Bladder was empty when I left Leicester, but had to stop twice en route for a pee . Easy enough for us blokes - just find a suitable bush or tree away from the road. Must be a pain if you're a woman.

Anyone familiar with Josie Dew will realise that the humble cape is the answer to feminine modesty...

However it can look a bit strange on a sweltering summers day

A comfort break a few years ago and I'm happily watering the gate post when I suddenly realized there's a large gaggle of geese running across the field towards me, I couldn't get finished fast enough!

Did she use it in this position?

You get good at appraising hedges and gaps in them. The worst bit is getting up from a squatting position when you're knees are feeling the effect of 60 miles... It's easier at night under the cover of dark, although then you remember how much reflective stuff you have on your coat if a car passes...

I once took advantage of a field entrance and hedge in Orkney, and looked up to find myself being watched by half a dozen curious bullocks.

And it doesn't matter how shortly before the off I 'go' - I always need to stop within an hour or so. I'm not sure if it's the recumbent position, since I do all my longer rides on the trike these days.

Friend in our group got caught short while skiing and disappeared into bushes at the side of a red run near Avoriaz. Didn't remove her skis and in the middle of ablutions started to slide.... in the panic she didn't want to fall over and wet her colourful jumpsuit... ...never eat the yellow snow.

I was out today on a reliability ride with my club when someone got a p*******e and having stopped I thought it would be the perfect time to answer a call of nature. Now being wet and cold and having what I like to call saddle cock (when you have no feeling in you lower parts and your body seems to have swallowed them) this was going to be unpleasant enough. So I am at the fence just about to answer said call and admiring the views when one of the sheep in the field turns to me and stares me dead it the eye. Now normally I can pee anywhere but this was the most uncomfortable I think I have ever felt. Kind of made me wonder what normally happens to the sheep in that field when they see a errrrr........ Any way I moved a few foot further where less of me could be seen and the rest as they say is history.

Ah, you were tumescent. Happens to the best of us...

Not quite cycling related though one of us had a Brompton.
A couple of friends and I were heading back through Manchester after a night out when one needed a pee.
She decided to nip behind the fence of an NCP carpark, one of those where it is just a bit of wasteland with a ticket kiosk at the barrier.
My friend and I walked on to give her some privacy but as we heard her catching up we turned to wait for her and saw the car park signs warning that the carpark had CCTV survelance for security!

The classic NC pee then!

…and I thought it was just me. At least it has a name now.
