My 2 friends and I are riding Buffalo to Syracuse this week. We all developed a pink splotchy rash on our thighs after one day on the trail. Some wore sunscreen, some didn't. The weather has been sunny. Anyone else have this happen on the trail?

Nope, I have not heard of this at all. If it's not a place where your clothing touches, It's hard to imagine what it might be. Unless you picked up some poison ivy somehow?

Yes, we just got back from riding Canastota to Albany. My friend developed the rash on both legs after the first day.
By the end of the 2nd day, it looked much worse. Used a cream with anti-itch/antibiotics and both legs were clear for day 3

I wonder what caused it? Glad it cleared up quickly.
