I have done this kind of cycling 20 years ago (a lot) over many years and never used sunscreen at first, but my skin is such I should. I did wear tee shirts as opposed to cycling shirts, seemed they blocked the sun on your back better.
If you sweat, I doubt sunscreen on arms/legs will do much for you. I would suggest you put it on your nose (a lot) and some on you cheeks, keep away from your eyes. Of course were you live makes a big difference, I live by the 45th parallel north.
The only places I got burned was on my nose and face area at that time, never had issues with my arms of legs.
