Oh yes! Here in EnZed too! One of my boys went out for a morning ride with his training group, about 4hours, back just after noon. He put loads of sunscreen on - except on his thigh. You see, he wore his shorts which he crashed in the first time he wore them. He got great road rash. And then about five weeks later he wears the shorts and gets great sunburn in unusual patterns on his very white thigh!

(Lots of anti-burn stuff and aloe vera and healing ungents and potions, and all has healed well - but it was a very nasty burn. Now he understands why I was "attacking" his shoulder with sunscreen when he has worn torn shirts... he thought I was being overprotective and fussy, but now he understands!!!)
