just got back from 6 hours of gentle up the canal type ride and mrs mattp laughed when she saw me!!!! when i asked her why she was laughing she said look in the mirror and my face and head is red as beetroot. gald i didn't wear a helmut today otherwise i would look even more ridiculous.

will post a pic if anyone else does..

Shall let you know in a couple of hours

Yeah think so, will find out later this evening I suspect!

I have only just recovered from last weeks burning session on the Quantocks

yup

annoyingly it wasnt from riding though…it was from fencing the garden 🙁

Update, not red, but its the return of the freckles. The revenge of my irish grandparents.

Yup, burnt at the first sign of sunlite – it's sh*te being Scottish!!

Arms n face are looking a bit red after 7 hours riding in the Clwyds today, glorious 🙂

yup. I'm starting to glow

Nope – amazingly we managed to ride past a chemist on the way out and have the sense to get suncream!

First year ever I have managed not to get burnt to a crisp on the first decent day. I must be getting wiser in my old age afterall….

it's got worse – i think i may have sunstroke [sore throat, pounding headache] "sad face/red face"

i thought it was ash stains but it hasn't washed off and is feeling a bit hot and glowy, so must be the sun….once again i am sporting a silly cyclist's tan marks
