Anyone got a bad rash?

I didn't get any at the race, but a couple days before the race I fell and scrapped my arm. Ichy bumps on a wound sucks.

Yes, it's poison ivy. I get it about every time I ride. Didn't think about it this early in the season. Didn't realize until Wednesday...so, it's on my rear and behind my legs and knees and ankles. Worst case I've had in about 15 years.

To prevent the spreading or possibly stop it dead: Wash down after a ride with cold water and apply rubbing alcohol to suspect areas. And as mentioned in another post it doesn't go away, so the mud or your bike, clothes and shoes could still affect you.

It was a hell of a race and hopefully worth it.

One question: How did you all find time to roll around on the ground and still kick my ass in the race?!?
