Warmish morning today, feeling good and I had a decent sweat on by the end of my commute.
But… I had to stop twice because my sweat was stinging my eyes so much I couldn’t keep them open!
Why’s that then? Sweat is salty, tears are salty, what’s the issue? Who designed this blimmin system anyway? 😉
Anything I can do to help reduce the sting? (i.e. is something in my diet making it sting worse than normal?) Is it possible that the occasional use of hayfever eyedrops has made my eyes more sensitive?
For the record: I showered before the ride and there was no “product” on my face or hair. I don’t wear a helmet, I wear glasses when I ride, I have pretty short hair and, ahem, a high hairline. 😳
I’d rather not wear a big 80’s-stylee headband if at all possible, I look like enough of a gimp on the bike as it is.
