Funny tan line

[margo49]

I wear an elastic elbow brace on my right arm.
So I have a line on that arm about 7 cm down from the pointy bit.

Back when cycling gloves all came with crocheted backs, you could get speckled tans on the backs of both hands.

Yeah, I had a pair for years and years that I bought in France

I have a funny stripe across my wrist from my new PI gloves. White hands, tanned forearms (and I always ride with at least SPF15, usually SPF30).
Since this year I've been wearing my new Keens and the Tevas have been relegated to the closet, this is the first summer I haven't had the distinctive "Teva Tan" on my feet! No straps across the top or by the toes and no triangle at the base of the little toes. Oh, what you give up (or gain?) for fashion!

Yep Teva tan on feet, down to the little triangle.

Also, you can start to see the helmet straps and I have two types of shorts in two different lengths so I have 3 degrees of tanning on my thighs.

I've got the decapitated look with that strange whiteness just below the jawlines.
I've always wondered if I get the chain tattoo soon enough, that it might block the sun and I'll get a pale spot there...

I have dark skin that tans easily (I always wear spf of 36 or higher) so I have all kinds of weird tan spots!

The two oddest ones...1) I have tan fingers. Yes, not only do I have the normal white hands, but my fingers are tan where the gloves stop. I've taken to wearing a thick watch and a thick bracelet to work to hide the drastic wrist lines...but there is nothing I can do about the fingers!

2) I have a tan on my back that is a wide assortment of shapes. I almost always wear sleeveless jerseys, so I've got darker arms and shoulders. Then my sports bra is an extra layer, so that part is whiter than the rest of my back...and lastly, (get this!) I have a white stripe at the bottom of my bra mark where my HRM strap always is. That is some STRONG southern sun that I bike in, huh?!

My nearly 3 yo grandson Tomas calls them "Grandma's Polkadots!" "From you bicycle Grandma"
I'm tan from the knuckles to fingertips as well. From jerseys with evidently a couple different lengths of sleeves I have a rainbow tan line on the upper arm. I have the "decapitated" look as well as the strap tan AND the thigh to ankle tan that looks funny as all get out in sandals LOL
