There is a Velominati Rule about tan lines (scroll down to No. 4), so you're avoiding the whole challenge I take it, eh @joeyduck?

BTW, does anyone have a link to the Velominati Rules, I went to Velominati.com and there is a link to "The Rules" but it is empty.

I think that would apply if I tan. So my logic goes: I do not tan therefore rules regarding tanning do not apply.

It also makes them feel worse when I pass them!

I understand that feeling of the weather, but it is all about acclimation, in the winter you are used to cold, 6°C is freaking HOT in relative terms. The summer you are used to HOT, 11°C is freaking chilly again in relative terms. So wholly acceptable. In both cases I would say that the differential from normal seasonal temps is about 16°C +/- 2°C.
