I'm a little freaked out this year because my hands are tan for once. I've given up most summer biking for farming...so my hands are tan (I hate wearing gloves in the garden).

Last summer, I bought a big silver cuff bracelet to wear on my right arm and with my huge watch on my left - it somewhat hid the massive transition from brown arm to white hands. It was super obvious - people in the grocery stores used to comment on it.

Now I have the proverbial red neck! I chopped off all my hair a few weeks ago and after a weekend of working outside, my neck is bright red, my shoulders/arms are red (including my hands) and my body/legs are super white. In fact, for the first time since I started riding, I can only faintly make out the tan line on my thighs. It's finally fading after about 9 months of no riding in the sun (or with bare legs).
