Early tan lines

Mud or brake dust....

I think I still have my Flandrian tan from the weekend. I got in trouble for creating a dirty towel.

I wore my 3/4 bibs for the first time today, but absolutely no danger of any tan lines yet.

No new tanlines from this year due to long sleeves + knee warmers but the lines on the legs still haven't faded from last year. I'm worried they are permanent. Does anyone else have this?

Yes I do. I've had tanned legs and arms for years,due to cycling and working outdoors. They fade a bit over the winter but remain much darker than the bits that don't or rarely see the sun.

I went out for a ride on a very hot summer afternoon in 1989 wearing a sleeveless top and I didn't use sunblock. I got badly sunburned (my shoulders and exposed parts of my back ended up with horrible weeping blisters over the next couple of days). You can still see the outline of the top on my back in freckles nearly 28 years later!

That's probably some fungal infection you caught from triathlons.

Still got a tan on my legs. Although that's probably from being in Kenya for half of January.
