Move your clocks!

Finally got some warm weather this weekend. I actually got a jersey tan on Saturday. No picture of it yet but I'll take one when it starts getting really bad. Time to start using sunscreen again. A jersey tan is like a farmer's tan but worse because most jersey's have little arm gripper material at the cuff of each sleeve to keep it in place. This results in a perfect start and stop line, like glass half full of chocolate milk.

Cyclists can be identified while in regular street clothes during the summer by looking at there hands. Many cyclists will have a great tan down their arms (below the sleeves, of course) and then you'll notice the Micky Mouse glove on when you look at their hands. Cyclists who wear a short finger glove, have the Hobo Mickey Mouse glove tan, white hands till half way up the digits and tan finger tips. Or if you gloves have any particular cut out designed for airflow, you may end up with something like this.

I can't wait for summer.
