It is a spot on my trapezius muscle, caused by twisting and lifting the bike on my shoulder/back I think... The pipelagging won't stop that, but at least it will stop the bruising on my shoulder...
yes...i recall alot of discomfort and pain from the ascent of simon's fell..the memmory is burned in my pysche

this year i'll be using the fence instead of the less trodden path
