I always use sunscreen at the beginning of the season and later on for long rides. When it's hot I always wear short sleeves and man can you burn your arms in no time!
i always wear sleeves. sun is not a tattoos best friend! when it gets really hot out, i have a couple of those columbia fishing shirts. they are light, very well ventilated, and are even spf rated. granted, they are not gonna do squat for you in the event of an unplanned getoff, but, neither is a t shirt, and at least i'm not getting burnt!
Yeah... I made that same mistake for my first time a while back, but it was a nice long ride without a helmet.... And I am bald..... But then I was peeling..... like an orange....It sucked...... I learned.......I'll stop now.....
I feel your pain!Happened to me this year.....the first hot and sunny weekend...t shirt,no helmet,buzzed head...bad combo...in too big of a rush to get out and ride...forgot the sunblock!
