Well hello everyone this is my first post, I have searched for information regarding this and could not find anything.
I bought a mountain bike a week ago and have been busy getting some miles in but yesterday I went for a great ride but my shins got stung to buggery by nettles up a nadgery climb from Temple Ewell to the A2 by Whitfield.
I know this isn't the most technically challenging of questions for this part of the forum but I am interested to know what the rest of you do about this (if anything), my shins are still uncomfortable now.
Long tights would surely be ripped to bits by brambles, as would a shell I guess, so do I just suck it up or is there a better way?
Thanks for reading.
