How'd you know?!

Actually, I am normally pretty brown (for a light-skinned gal of Scotch-Irish background, that is!) this time of year due to road riding and kayaking, but this summer I only just started road riding again a couple of weeks ago and have only been kayaking once. Most of my rides have been in the woods after work, so yes, I am really pale this summer! I actually had a nice brown glow after our two-week trip to the southwest US this May, where we hiked in the canyons every day, but that's all gone. I wear 30 spf but still manage to get some sun - so long as I am out in it!
