Re: sunscreen: this stuff is the best:
Aloe Gator Super Total Sunblock Gel SPF 40+ - 4 fl. oz. at REI.com
It's the only sunscreen I've ever found that can keep my pale skin pale, even through a full day of riding at 8000+ feet and including a few river dunks. It feels pretty gross when you put it on, but it stays put and it works. It also goes on clear, which is nice.
