    I'm tanning up quite well so far, arms and legs have well defined lines (due to 10 days in Mallorca in April) . Also have the glove marks alas i am still waiting for the wierd combo of tan lines that wearing fingerless gloves and long fingered gloves give when riding during the summer.

    On another note...I'm off the bike at the moment due to being ill however when I was sitting in garden this afternoon I had to arrange my shorts accordingly so they matched my lines. Then i really started considering just wearing Lycra instead. Is this a bad sign? Anyone else ever been tempted by this?

    Hehe, prj45, nice. Going to go out and work on mine now.

    Edit: (later) nicely topped up. Hardest part was lining the hem of my shorts up with the existing line, to ensure it stays as sharp as possible.
