cycling tan is on its way!
First nice few days in portland Oregon!
I spent the last two days rolling up and down some of our 10-15% grade hills. 3-4 hour rides.
I am burned badly on my arms, but its nice to see those lines again! you really do forget what it is like to ride with no rain.

My cycling tan never actually went away. It fades, and then first time I ride with shorts it comes bouncing back again.

I think this should be the next BF group buy:
We're gonna need a lot of them... wonder if it comes in a larger size?

There is a string hanging from your shirt.
Never mind ...... that's your arm.
You should be ready to go!

After 30+ years of cycling in "proper" cycling jerseys, I have committed the mortal sin of buying some sleeveless jerseys.
I was really afraid I would be mistaken for a triathlete when I went out to ride my TT bike. But then I remembered I have no bottles on the back of my saddle and no Zipp products.

Alright everyone... he made this thread to discuss tan/burn from cycling, not to field your opinions on his tattoo or anything else. Back on topic please.

I did not know people in the Pacific Northwest consider suntanning until at least August.

This is a rare spring privilege for us in Portland. We have to burn first to start the tanning process , otherwise it will take until September and then the rain comes back. I got the same marks minus the tat, and the top of the thighs and calves. I tried flipping, but just didn't work. I'm not that good.

sorry guys. I was out riding. Did not get a chance to defend myself or come up with a snazzy reply. I'm off to take a shower. Hope you had fun.

That's what we tell people so they don't move here.
Tho... it has been pretty nice. Today was 81 degrees and sunny. Although in a typical PacNW pattern- it is supposed to be 59 and showery- Thu-Sat.
