Mike, my man, you always make me chuckle, such well penned descriptions in your pieces.
While not anything near red haired and fair skinned, the sun is also my nemesis, especially since my hair decided I wore hats too much and decided to mostly depart. If I get caught out anytime after the sun gets more than 30 degrees up over the horizon in the morning and am not either wearing a hat or some form of head covering, I'm going to seriously regret it. Skin is overall fairly tanned living in the tropics, where everyone else always tells you you're so lucky to live there, but I'd give anything for a nice day that doesn't reach past 77f/25C and the humidity isn't 70%>, heck right now I'd take 85F/30C.
That is very sad about that cyclist that lost his life, but we need to not be silly and using your common sense to not go out on 95F/35C+ day to ride a 32 mile, remote trail, solo is kind of like the absolute opposite of that.
