I\’m on the anti-UV warpath!

This morning I visited the local Whole Foods. To my delight, I found this sunblock on sale; and at $3.50 off the usual price! I go through the stuff pretty fast; so I bought two tubes of it. I made a long-term savings of $7.00🙂

I applied that savings towards the new mirror that I bought for the hybrid. Yesterday I took a spill; the stem of the mirror got cracked; and it couldn\’t hold the mirror snugly any more. Without a mirror on the end of my handlebar, I feel like I\’m riding blind.

The mirror itself is still in good shape; so I\’m going to hang onto it. Who knows, it might come in handy!

But back to the anti-UV warpath. I need plenty of sunblock when I go on my Sunday long rides. Sometimes I\’m out there for four hours; and that sunblock needs to be reapplied every 80 minutes. It\’s no wonder I use it up so fast! I get frustrated at the expense, but I don\’t need to get sunburned; and possibly develop melanoma sometime down the line.

I don\’t like being cold; but when the weather is cool enough for long sleeves and leg warmers, I can use much less sunblock. I like that; but the trade-off is that I have more laundry to do! Why am I so hard to satisfy?
