Many people will be going out today to get their first dose of sunburn in 2012. But against all the odds, I got mine this time last week on the North Coast of Northern Ireland.
The weather forecast for the Relentless International North West 200 was far from ideal. As it turned out, not only were the roads dry but the sun shone - as my friends and I fried in the start line grandstand.
I left Jamie and Charlotte in the kind and loving hands of their granny - also known as my mother - who kept them guarded from the sun's rays.
