Boy how times have changed. 30 years ago I worked as a scaffolder and at the end of the day my shirts would have white stains on them from all the dried salt I had sweated out. On a hot day here on a long ride I just flick the sweat off my forehead with a gloved finger every now and then. I always wear gloves for safety in case the unthinkable happens.

I was gonna make up a story about how we aussies carry pet koalas on our backs when we ride to wipe the sweat off but thought better of it
