Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

First Cyclist Tan Line :)

I just noticed on my legs that I have my first bike shorts tan line ever I've been out for two weeks now riding and it's been a bit cold lately so I usually wear shorts but the line is there!

On a side note, I also got accepted on the local cycling team earlier this week.


God I'm a noob...

I developed a mega-jersey-tan last summer, which actually lasted through the whole winter. No shorts tan though; my legs are too hairy

I am in Texas and we have had great weather here this month (60s, 70s mostly, some 80s) and I already have a deep tans on my arms, that cuts off at the jersey sleeve and the wrist (from the gloves, of course!) and I get teased alot for my "farmer's tan" at the gym when I am working out in a tank top...

The tan lines on my thighs from the bibs is alot lighter and so far overlooked for abuse!
