Not just me then… I noticed a definite improvement on last year. Lots more stands, far more variety. And some decent deals!

LOL!

10% off all Oakley's is not too shabby... Some decent prices at Solomons too.

For those wishing to ride a second lap, the last start group (RR) is 09:56, but the instructions say 10:08.

Do we have to bring a timing chip to gain entry into the expo? Isn't the printed(or downloaded) page enough?

Solomons had some wheel sets at good prices Campy Eurus at 11k as an example. Cape union mart had good pricing on items like speed cross 3 for 1299.

Not only possible but advisable. I am considering parking there if we don't ride to the start from home.

Are there any places one can park away from the venue whereby one doesn't have to walk over dusty paths to the start?

WTF does your location on planet earth have to do with the surface temperature of the sun?

 

It changes the "feel" on your skin -- the amount of UV light received.

 

We're 2km up, and that's 2km less of "thick" atmosphere.

 

More importantly, we're close to the equator, and that's more direct sunlight, so the sunlight travels less through the atmosphere, and there's more UV.

 

 

The sky should also be lighter here, less blue, due to less rayleigh scattering.

 

 

I've got no idea what the actual % difference is.
