TanLegs1.Blog:Vecchiojo gets his legs out for some pre-season fake tan action
Some might call it vanity (huh!) but Vecchiojo knows there's more to being fast than simply going quicker… you need to look quick too, particularly in the leg department. Everyone knows that fast legs are honey brown coloured legs and very definitely not white.
So with the season fast approaching it's time to get the self tanning lotion out, but which one? Jo is here to help guiding you through his meticulous leg prep regime and testing out the latest self tanning lotions – one on each leg (hope they don't clash afterwards – ed).
Follow his legs in the coming weeks as they go from marble white towards a honey-gold destination and possibly onwwards towards tawny or mahogony perhaps, but at no time going anywhere near orange.
More on Jo's scary leg experiment.
road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
