Re: [RC] Australian Endurance... - Kristene SmutsI suspect that the concern here is that Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and all those close-to-the-ozone-hole countries have HORRENDOUS rates of skin cancer.>> Yes, we have a real problem here (and the other countries). I am a sun lover by nature, but I'm really very cautious when it comes to exposure. Our sun screen factors (mine, at any rate) runs to 30+. I have been very naughty in riding with sleeveless tees, but I think this season I have to start covering up. My main problem is that shirts stick to skin which annoys me terribly, so I think I'll do some research into cycling clothing. The Australians have a very good sun protection program - all the kids go to school in wide brimmed hats and swim in long sleeve (or 3/4 sleeve) swimsuits designed by the Cancer Association.
