Glove Tans...

dilatory

So the most important of cycling issues, a week or more of good weather here and my glove tan is in full swing. Arms and fingers are tanned and hands are stark white. It looks ridiculous. Should I wear it as a badge of cycling honour? I cannot ride without gloves, sweaty hands and all...

What's worse is the cold wind + sunny weather means arm warmers, except they don't quite meet my gloves so I have an even darker ring around my wrists. What do you chaps do?

Wear them with pride, look out for the knowing nods from people with equally rediculous tan lines

Bra strap tan lines would be worse...

Mine are fairly ridiculous, I wear a watch and it covers the line which makes it less noticeable, the right hand is on full display though!

I'm proud of them. They are there even when i stop riding for summertime

I occasionally throw in the odd naked hand ride so as to try and put a bit of colour into them.

I don't ride with gloves when training and the suns out! When racing I have to wear them so I still have a bit of a white hand. I currently have a 3 tone arm from wearing different length jersey sleeves

P20 Factor 50. Avoid daft tan lines and avoids your skin turning into old leather at the same time. Simple.

Iv resorted to riding without gloves when the sun is really shining but as above i am developing some interesting shades on my upper arms from wearing slightly different length jerseys.
