I got my first one yesterday. It was on the back of my leg and I didn't notice it until I was at home in the shower. I had to practically scrape the little bastard off but didn't see any marks on my leg, I even looked with a magnifying glass.

I had one on the back of my leg when I got to the top of Mathis yesterday. It was hanging on to my leg hair. Sent it on its way with a flick of my finger, before it had a chance to bite.

Shaved legs, not just for girls and roadies anymore

True, the little guy would not have had anything to grab onto. Not sure how my wife would react if I shaved my legs...

A friend of mine also picked up a tick in the same spot (top of mathis while sitting on the bench). I think the ticks smell all the sweat soaked into that bench & hang out there.
