    I only started seriously cycling last august so am getting used to that big yellow thing in the sky that I’ve not really had to deal with before.
    I went out yesterday for a long ride and now I have tan lines and a burnt neck. What do you lot do in the summer to stop getting burnt?
    Any advice gratefully received

    +1 for P20. it’s not cheap, but it’s the best i’ve tried. best to apply it 30 minutes before you go out, but it’s once for the day and you’re done.

    I burn quite easily and last summer I started using Riemann P20, which works well. You only need to apply it once a day and does wash off if you sweat.

    If the sun is very strong I wear a jersey or t-shirt with a higher collar to protect my neck. Also, I first started wearing cycling gloves due to getting sunburnt hands.

    Get a decent sports orientated sun-cream, I use piz-buin (or however you spell it) mountain range as I generally have loads left from snowboarding – seems to work a treat and last long enough for a decent ride without re-applying.

    If you are really worried you can buy P50 from most supermarkets and that will definitely protect you in even the hottest day.

    Tan lines should be embraced B-) cremating yourself perhaps not so much.
