Ridiculous Cyclist sun tan

[Big Dave laaa]

How is the sunny weather treating everyone? My Mrs just pointed out to me that I have the most ridiculous suntan ever. White hands, extremely brown forearms and lower legs a white body and totally sun tanned head and neck apart from where my shades have been. Going on holiday Monday

So does anyone else wear a cyclists sun tan with pride?

 

[BorderReiver]

Absolutely! Had my work medical last week and got some funny looks from the doctor but at least my resting heart rate and blood pressure were both on the low side of normal.

I wear fingerless gloves so have tanned fingers, white hands and tanned arms. I also have tan lines on my face from my glasses

One of the girls at work said she wished she had a tan like mine, I suggested she get a bike

Seems like there is a variety:

Make sure you wear jerseys and shorts that are all exactly the same length so the line between white & brown is nice & crisp.

Well at least I can say I have a pro tan. There the similarities end unfortunately.

I've not been out much this year so haven't got the pale hands. Still got last year's tan line from my bib shorts though.

Just wait till you get tan lines from your helmet vents!

Forgot to mention them being bald of head

Factor 50. Plenty of it.

I missed the back of one calf the other day. Painful results.

Yup , the vents on my helmet make my head look like its sponsored by Adidas

Being a naturist I couldn't give two fig leaves what sort of tan I have.

I too was strangely still quite heavily tanned from last June.
Heavily topped up now though!

I come under pro, but again that`s where the similarities end. Two slight differences though, my lines aren`t as crisp as I would have liked due to my jerseys and shorts moving during the ride, and I have a little burnt patch on each hand where there is a gap on the back of my gloves
