A sunny afternoon ride on Saturday resulted in sun burn for myself, my husband and my brother. My husband and I were doing some volunteer work yesterday and one of the other volunteers says to him, "what is your garden like?" My husband gives her a confused look, and she explains that she noticed the sun burn, and since there was nothing on our hands, she presumed we were wearing gloves, so therefore doing gardening.

A question though - all 3 of us were coughing after the ride - we couldn't breath too deeply. Shallow breaths only. Is this a function of our level of fitness or a function of the lovely "scenery" (ie, road paving construction, construction sites, city traffic, etc, etc) that we passed?
