The sun is getting evil. I ride every day to work and back as well as exercising in the morning (before the sun comes up thankfully) and riding longer rides in the weekends. My hands go so badly cooked a few weekends back when I lent my gloves to a newbie that I'm missing several layers of skin 2 weeks later.

. That will teach me to not pack sunblock. I figured we would finish the whole 120km in the usual 4-5 hours. But, being new he took 10 hours and I had to motivate him (and fry the whole way) for the whole course.
