PALE IS THE NEW TAN!!
Nice bikes, nice legs! Sunscreen is our friend.
LZ - I assume you already know about sunblock clothing. I love my Kokatat shirt. I've also got pigment-less bits on my skin, but it's not from vitiligo. Gotta take care of those critters!

Mimi -- probably because you didn't already have the clipless pedals? Perhaps they're nudging you gently into the clipped in thing....
Toni -- Amazing find on the jersey -- AND to have it happen to fit!!!

welcome to the group!
i love the white! (my skin hasn't seen sun in a LONG time, more because we don't have much sun here.)
love the bikes. have fun with them. oh and you need to have this shirt to go along with your whiteness. i wear it with pride."Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it." – William C. Durant

Welcome Toni and LauraZena! Love the bikes!
I'm jealous of your whiteness...I would prefer to be all white than to have white hands and tan arms. I have yet to find a sunblock that actually blocks the sun!

Welcome to both of you and your rockin' new bikes!
Like GLC1968, I would be all-white too if I could find a sunblock that actually worked as advertised. I get a little cyclist's tan on my legs and arms in spite of my best sunblocking efforts.
Have fun on your bikes!!!Bad JuJu: Team TE Bianchista

I just did a ride yesterday with a friend on her new Trek 5000 (it was the maiden voyage) - same bike as yours. Have to say the bike is beautiful - great color and she enjoyed riding it.

Welcome Toni and LauraZena,
Beautiful bikes ladies! Here is to saving our skin from sun damage!! Loved the jersey story
Nothing better than a great buy. I too have a Trek and dearly love it. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
