While out riding in N. California, if you have to answer the call of nature, then exercise EXTREME care! Poison Oak grows weed-like all over the place here in abundance. It likes shady spots, just the kind of place where a roadie may choose to take a tinkle... Here's a piccy of what it looks like. Three leaves that look a bit like oak leaves, it grows in a viney and bush like manner:
Bare skin brushing it will get a rash at best, and in extreme cases, blistering and an allergic reaction. Nasty! Makes stinging nettles look like salad.

Thanks for putting the results on Harj. Your tip could have come in very useful on last Sunday's clubrun. Owing to the advanced age of the males participants we had no less than three such stops before elevenses at Aborfield
