I don't know what it is, sweet blood perhaps, but I am forever being eaten alive on rides, especially when I'm going slowly uphill, obliviously, or have stopped to, ahem, admire the view....
The missus doesn't suffer, but my legs look like the surface of the moon, plus my calves swell up as a reaction to the bites, making everything feel a bit tighter movement-wise.
Have tried various, but was wondering if anyone had any rock-solid recommendations... other than the obvious 'go faster'.
TIA.
Take me along - I am the ultimate midge and mozzie magnet - anyone else within 10m is perfectly safe
