What's not smart...

[Julian G.]

7 hours on the bike - aero bars 90% of the time - almost zero shade on my route - no sunscreen=

My arms are glowing.

Don't worry the glowing stops when the peeling begins. Take some painkillers and try not to cry like a girl when your arms touch something.

oof, that hurts. Are you gonna ride with that?

At least you were smart enough to wear those bibs and a true cycling jersey with an extended tail while you were frying your arms.

Think of the agony you'd be in if you were sporting some plumber's crack for the ride.

Definitely. It would take stiches to keep me off the bike and even then I probably would probably be back on in a day or two. Tommorow probably won't be more than 20K or so since I did 166 + today and I want to watch the TDF live.
