But the warmer it gets, the harder it is to cover up. | |

It is even, and a good baseline, though if you switch to shorter shorts or shorter sleeved jerseys late in summer you can get a burn line (unlike the pros, I have a pretty random assortment of kit and have got caught out) | |

| Sep 30, 2021 at 12:51 | comment | added | Michael | Most pro cyclists have some tan. Hence why they don’t have to stop to re-apply sun screen. I’m an average white European person and after a week of summer bike touring I have enough tan to only need some cheap SPF20 sun screen in the morning for a whole day in the sun. | |
