Tan is not a good thing.
You should apply plenty of SPF50 to the parts of your body that are going to be exposed to the harsh summer sun.

He’ll be fine. We only get harsh summer sun in the UK once every 5 years if we’re lucky!

I’ll only put sun screen on the South facing parts, if I’m out for a few days.

Heading out shortly for an audax, and as it happens, i did dig out a tube of factor 50 last night.
Can't help feeling that's overkill against 'harsh summer sun" in early March, but i don't have anything weaker.

I'll have my P20 to hand (and legs)! 👌

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Ye gods. Please no, not the shorts.

After being bitten in the morning and ending up in hospital on IV antibiotics last summer I'm remaining steadfastly in long strides this year.

Get to see loads of backpackers here now, heading for the party scene etc.
The north European ones have Daz white skin on display, many will be lambs to the slaughter trying to get that elusive tan in just 2 weeks or so.
I usually go topless on my morning ride of an hour or so (body like mine, shame to keep it hidden), gives me a sort of base tan and blubber always looks better that way.
Will be back in the UK in a few days, have to get used to layering up for a while, never feel comfortable now in jeans and closed in footwear.

Whatever it was by 9pm my leg was like a sausage and the hossy were worried about sepsis, so I sat jn the waiting room all night clutching an IV stand full of antibiotics and was sent home with a big box of AB tabs. Too, about a week before it started to look normal again.
