Don't worry Acid. The worst thing that can happen is that you don't ride to your own expectations. Damn, that scares the living cr#p out of me

Ooi, Sean...it all sounds so familiar. Last years race actually cost me R10 000, 'cause I had to buy a new bike afterwards!
I did the shaving thing last night. Shaving is my signal to the brain that it's time to prepare itself. Like a warrior puts war paint on his face, thats how I feel when I shave dem legs  >
I just hope it's not going to be a rain dance ;D

VO2, if I  were to shave my legs today, I would need to shave again by Sunday. So I'll just leave them for either tomorow night or Saturday.

I usually shave two or three days beforehand incase I develop a rash. Fortunately my leg hairs don't grow that fast.

Been shaved now for two weeks, I find that I get rash in first week  :-[ which calms down in second week. I also have hair growth like a woolly mammoth. So I will be shaving the night before

How high do you guys shave, shorts level or nipple level ;D

I only shave once a week even though it grows quickly. I have been doing so since I started racing in 1994. never knew about shaving until I had my first crash and couldn't ride with a huge scab on my knee.

I only ever had rashes for the first few times I shaved and mostly because I shaved too often (every 3 or 4 days).

I swim too so have to shave up to the speedo level  
But I don't go any higher than that (until neck & face) ;D

yeup. The g/f just phoned me. She hit a puddle of water on the highway and spun the car off onto the grass verge. Luckily no harm done to her or the car. She's just a little shaken.

I'm just thinking how I'm going to get home though, My tyres are bals and I was going to get new ones next week, in this weather the car is all over the place.
