My best combination so far was applying an spf50 about an hour and a half before the ride, then using an spf30 spray 15 minutes before getting on the bike (stuff I had on hand). This may be as simple as someone posting "I use such and such 100spf spray...follow the directions." Thoughts?
If I'm heading out for an all-day ride, I will often wear my leg warmers or knee warmers until it gets too hot for them.
Then, I stop, remove the knee warmers, and apply Neutrogena's UltraSheer DryTouch sunscreen ... just about the only one I've found to not be greasy and horrible.

I will apply it again a couple hours later if necessary.
